Please Note
Please ensure you review all the mortgage rate options available to you to identify the most appropriate for your personal circumstances. You may also like to get independent advice before deciding to avail of the offer from your solicitor or speak to a financial advisor.

In order to receive this contribution you will be fixing the interest rate on your mortgage for a period of either 3, 5 or 10  years (the fixed period).  Before agreeing to fix your interest rate you should be aware of the following:

- When you choose a fixed rate, you know exactly how much your monthly mortgage repayment will be during the fixed period.

- If your mortgage is redeemed either fully or partially during the fixed period you may be charged a break funding fee.  You should  consider whether a change in your circumstances might occur (such as needing to sell the property or paying off a lump sum from your mortgage) which may result in you incurring this fee.  Details of how this fee is calculated is included in your Letter of Offer. 

- During the fixed period you will not be subject to any interest rate increases or decreases (subject to a number of limited exceptions set out in our General Homeloan Conditions).

- On the expiry of the fixed period your interest rate will revert to our then current New Business PDH Loan to Value (LTV) Variable Rates.

We reserve the right to amend, modify, cancel, withdraw or change the terms on which this contribution is available at any time at our sole discretion.

The Central Bank Mortgage measures are ceilings set on the amount of money that can be borrowed to buy residential property using:

- Loan to Value (LTV) limits
- Loan to Income (LTI) limits

Loan-to-Value limits
The LTV limit requires you to have a minimum deposit before you can get a mortgage. The size of this deposit depends on what category of buyer you are.

- First-time-buyers are required to have a minimum deposit of 10%
- Second and subsequent buyers are required to have a minimum deposit of 20%

Loan-to-Income limits
The LTI limit restricts the amount of money you can borrow to a maximum of 3.5 times your gross income. So for example, a couple with a combined income of €100,000 can borrow up to a maximum of €350,000.

To avail of the optional extra Mortgage Discounted Rate (KBC’s prevailing new business fixed or variable rate with a discount of 0.20%), you must mandate your salary to your KBC Current Account (In an instance where a customer is self-employed, you must establish a monthly transfer to the Current Account to lodge an amount that is at least equal to the monthly mortgage repayment).
