Banks would prefer to have borrowers on products with variable rates, which can be increased whenever lenders want, according to Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers — who correctly predicted last year’s rises in variable rates.

We were delighted to be part of TV3’s ‘The Morning Show, with Sybil & Martin‘. We are fans of the show and enjoy the relaxed nature of the conversational commentary style they are so adept at. In this clip we spoke about the costs of finance and the potential removal of fixed rates, while Marian Finnegan (of SherryFitzgerald) covers housing, her background is in urban economics and she lectured at both NUIG and UL before moving to SherryFitzgerald. We hope you enjoy the clip.

Jill Kerby, the widely known Personal Finance columnist with the Sunday Times mentioned our company in her piece last week about fixing a mortgage or not. ‘I asked Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers for his view. He believes that fixing for three years at the rate of 3.89% you’ve been offered by AIB is a good deal. At just 0.2 points higher than the two-year rate, he reckons it is a premium worth paying.’
