My husband & I have been approved for a tracker mortgage with the AIB. We have not drawn down on this mortgage yet but hope to in the next 2 - 3 weeks.
I have just heard on the radio that from last friday, AIB are no longer offering tracker mortgages. Will we still get a tracker mortgage from the bank?

Do you have a loan offer or is it just at approval in principle stage?

It's a loan offer

They are honouring tracker loan offers that are not yet drawdown.

what if the legal work/ closing the deal gets delayed, and the cheque is not drawdown within the 3months, will the bank extend the loan offer with the tracker mortgage then?

Very unlikely.
They are losing a lot of money on trackers at the moment, banks just want them off their books ASAP.

Losing money? I thought they just weren't getting a large enough profit on them!
