The new fixed rate term is currently available for new business only. It follows reductions over the past 18 months in residential fixed rates for new business across the 3 and 5 year terms. Earlier this year the bank announced reduced fixed rate products for new BTL customers.

The bank has confirmed that it is carrying out a review of its mortgage pricing structure for existing customers which may lead to reduced rates for existing customers later this year. In addition, existing variable rate customers may be eligible to reduce their rate by up to 0.8% by moving to a Managed Variable Rate (MVR) basis. Approximately two thirds of eligible customers have yet to avail of this move which simply requires a valuation of the relevant property which the bank itself will pay for.

The full range of prices (based on LTVs) for the 7-year fixed rate product are:


* 7 year fixed rate (<=60% LTV) - 3.10% (3.46% APR)
* 7 year fixed rate (>60% & <=80% LTV) - 3.20% (3.60% APR)
* 7 year fixed rate (>80% & <= 90%) - 3.35% (3.78% APR)
 
I don't think that it merits inclusion in the Best Buys Table for under 50% LTV

It would probably scrape into the <90%

But you would probably be better going with the BoI or EBS 5 year fixed.

Or if you want a longer fix, the BoI 10 year fix.

The bit in bold shocks me every time I hear it!
 
Dont be fooled by PTSB

Todays headline is the bank they really are as I know from dealings with them.

Im switching as soon as my current fixed arrangement ends in 2022.

There may not be a break fee if you want to switch before then?
