Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Mortgage Insurance Schemes: Discussion

10:45 am

Mr. Michael Bennett:

Our experience is where the borrower does not contribute a deposit to the property we see much a greater incidence of defaults, so I would start with less than 100%. Where exactly along the spectrum the figure would lie, and the quantity of lending that would be given out across that spectrum, depends on the specific risk attributes that apply. I would say less than 100% but I would not be more precise than that.
