Market overview

The Irish mortgage market is led by AIB, Bank of Ireland, and Permanent TSB, with non-bank lenders Avant Money, Finance Ireland, ICS Mortgages, and Haven competing on rate. The Central Bank of Ireland enforces tight macroprudential rules: 90% LTV for first-time buyers, 80% for movers, and 4× loan-to-income for FTBs (3.5× for movers). The 2022-2024 fixed-rate cycle peaked above 5% and is now correcting downwards.

Why 3.95% is the typical rate

3.95% reflects a typical 5-year fixed rate for a first-time buyer at 90% LTV in early 2026. Avant and Finance Ireland green/cashback offers can dip to 3.55-3.75% for energy-rated A/B/C homes.

Tax & regulatory notes

Mortgage interest relief (TRS) was fully phased out in 2020 — there is no longer any first-home interest deduction. Stamp duty is 1% up to €1m and 2% above. The Help to Buy (HTB) scheme refunds up to €30,000 (or 10% of price, whichever is lower) in income tax to first-time buyers purchasing a new-build under €500,000. The First Home Scheme adds shared-equity support up to 30%.

❓ FAQ (Ireland)

Common questions in Ireland.

How do the Central Bank LTV and LTI rules work?

First-time buyers can borrow up to 4× gross annual income and up to 90% of the property value. Mover-purchasers (second-time buyers) are capped at 3.5× income and 80% LTV. Banks are allowed to exceed these limits on a limited share of new lending (15% of FTB lending above LTI, 10% above LTV), so exceptions exist but are rationed.

Help to Buy scheme — am I eligible?

Help to Buy is open to first-time buyers purchasing a new-build (or self-build) primary residence under €500,000. The refund is 10% of the purchase price or €30,000, whichever is lower, drawn from the income tax you paid in the previous four years. Crucially, you must be borrowing at least 70% LTV to qualify.

Green mortgages in Ireland — are they real?

Yes — AIB, BOI, Avant, and Haven all offer green-rate discounts of 15-40 bps for homes with an A or B BER (Building Energy Rating). On a €320,000 mortgage over 30 years, a 30 bp discount saves roughly €17,000-19,000 over the loan life. The catch: B3-rated and below homes typically don't qualify.
