Q QED Registered User Messages 222 29 Mar 2010 #1 As widely expected and flagged by AIB, variable and fixed rates will be increased by 0.50%. http://www.breakingnews.ie/business/aib-to-raise-mortgage-rates-by-05-451879.html This is not good news for anyone struggling to meet current re-payments but the banks cannot exist without increasing margins. Notwithstanding individual cases, it is in the taxpayers best interest that banks begin trading profitably as soon as possible.

I irishlinks Guest 29 Mar 2010 #4 Not all rates have gone up 0.5% - just the "standard variable". LTV variables go up by 0.34%. Fixed rates - vary.

Click to expand... And I assume that the tracker mortgage I have with AIB will remain unchanged, since it tracks the ECB Base Rate which isn't changing?

What are Haven's fixed rates? - I think it would be very difficult to switch lenders at this time.
