Hi sarryan1,
At the moment alot of lenders are increasing their rates, and especially their tracker rates, so your interest rate of 4.95% (est) is not a bad rate at the present time.
AIB offer an excellent tracker of 4.75% (ECB + .75%) for loans with Loan to Value ratios of 50% to 80%.
In regards to legal fees being paid for, alot of the lenders have stopped this practice. My advice in regards to the cheapest fees for a remortgage would be to look at title insurance firms such as First American or Irish Title, who will take care of legal requirments for remortgage cases for c - €1,000.
I hope this information is of assistance,
Alan Dolan
