Central Bank (Variable Rate Mortgages) Bill 2016: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Brendan Burgess:
If a new entrant comes into the market, which I hope will happen in the near future, it will reduce the rates for people who can switch. They will target 80% loan to value and three and a half times income. It would be extremely unlikely for anyone to do a 90% mortgage in the Irish market. That would not be a great idea. They would see that as being too risky.
