Greed knows no bounds: Rise in mortgage rates

Although the European Central Bank (ECB) left its rates unchanged yesterday for the 11th month in a row Bank of Ireland followed AIB today by announcing an increase in their standard-variable rates. The increase from 2.6% to 3.1% for both existing and new customers will add an extra €80 a month to the repayments of a €300,000 mortgage.

Thousands of homeowners who are vulnerable (and already hard-pressed,) to these rising mortgage rates are now being warned that they have seven days to act. Commenting on the rate rises Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers said, “There is a very short window of opportunity now for those seeking security around the level of their future mortgage repayments to act fast before the rates increase further." He continued, "These rises come in a year of cuts, levies, higher tax costs and deflation. It seems their greed knows no bounds." ...

Permanent TSB has hiked up its standard-variable rates twice since last summer by 1%, the EBS Building Society is also set to follow Bank of Ireland's hike with rises within days.
