If I move house and lose my tracker, how much is it going to cost me?

I'm wondering if any of the experts on here could do the maths for me on this, as I sometimes find it slightly complicated !!

I owe €75,000, and am on an AIB Tracker at ECB +0.95% (so currently 1.95%). I have 13yrs left.

Interested in a house at €150, and may have to increase my mortgage (assuming I get my own house sold) to €90,000.

Of course, doing this would take me on to a standard variable (if I decide not to fix).

Could someone work out how much more each month I'd pay NOW, and how much each 0.25% increase in the rate would cost me monthly?

I appreciate any help. Thanks folks.
 
I've tried a few myself, wondering if I'm correct.

Using the current standard variable rate of 2.79%, I'm getting a figure of €688.

Correct?
 
Yes - 90k over 13 years at 2.79% = 688 a month
An increase of .25% to 3.04% would result in repayments of 699 a month

Hi RMCF

Use Karl Jeacle's mortgage calculator.

I think you should assume a SVR of 4% as this is the most likely figure.

I think it won't be long before its above 4%, the way things are going Brendan.

I see banks are doing things in 0.5% increments now, not even 0.25% like in the old days. And if there are to be another few increases in the next couple of years as hinted at, then I would say that 5% isn't unreasonable.

To be honest I am really split at present. Its a nice idea to sit on my tracker for €75k and pay the fairly small amount. Or else go for this house, which I really like, and lose my tracker and end up at the mercy of the banks. Plus pay nearly €2k of stamp duty plus solicitor fees etc.
 
in same boat (house?) myself

hi rmcf,

am in the same boat as you - read liam ferguson's article in the sunday business post yesterday which outlines the dangers of moving a tracker.

at the moment, the best SVR seems to be from AIB at 2.6% APR which is 0.9 percent more than i am paying for my tracker from NIB.

I suppose i would like to know the following:

What do posters think will be the long-term difference between SVR and tracker+.7%?
brendan, is your figure of 4 percent for SVR not including ecb rate increases?

Thanks,
Rusty

Interesting enough article, although most of it is common sense (SVR = bad, Tracker = good).

Problem for me really is the last line of it all. "Do you really need that new house?". Thing is, sort of do.
