If you redeem a fixed rate mortgage prior to the end of the agreed term, an early redemption charge will be applied. The redemption charge will be a sum equal to the lower of (i) six months' interest or (ii) a sum calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(Redeemed Amount x (R - R1) x Time remaining in days until the end of the fixed rate period) divided by 365.

For the purpose of the above formula:

"Redeemed amount" means the estimated average loan balance between the time of the proposed repayment or interest rate conversion and the end of the relevant fixed rate period, assuming that no such repayment or interest rate conversion takes place and that all monthly payments have been made by the borrower under the terms specified in the loan offer.  Where a lump sum repayment is made, "redeemed amount" shall mean the amount of the lump sum repayment.

"R" means the interest rate available to the lender for funds placed in the money market on the start date of the relevant fixed rate period for the duration of that period.

"R1" means the interest rate available to the lender for funds placed in the money market on the date of the proposed early repayment, lump sum repayment or interest rate conversion for the remainder of the relevant fixed rate period. The rate applied will be either a 1 month, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year or 5 year rate, whichever is closest to the remaining fixed rate term of the mortgage.

When your fixed rate mortgage expires you can revert to the Standard Variable rate or any other mortgage product that you may be offered at this time.

Fee for converting from an existing variable rate or tracker rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage is €125.
