This thread applies to pure ptsb mortgages only. If your mortgage transferred from Ulster Bank, check that the same rules apply.
The rules apply to home loans only.
1. If you change your fixed interest rate during the fixed period, break fees may apply.
2. If you pay off fully during fixed period, break fees may apply
3. If you overpay and keep your payment the same, no fees apply. This is the default option if you overpay. The overpayments build up in a credit account, and reduce the interest charged. You can also use overpayments to subsequently fund a payment holiday. You can't get them refunded back to you though.
4. (There is some doubt about this point) If you overpay and reduce payments no fees apply. In this case you no longer have credit in your account, the credit had been applied to your mortgage balance. If you want to use this option be even more careful to check with PTSB, as all ts and cs indicated that break fees could be applied in this case.
