What are the advantages of switching mortgage?
Are you paying more than you should on your current mortgage? If your existing lender’s rates are no longer competitive, switching your mortgage could lead to lower monthly repayments and better long-term value.
Here are some key benefits of switching your mortgage today:
Lower Mortgage Repayments
Mortgage rates change over time, and your current deal might not reflect the best rates available. By switching to a more competitive lender, you could significantly reduce your monthly repayments and save thousands over the life of your mortgage.
Access to Fixed & Variable Interest Rates
Lock in peace of mind with a fixed-rate mortgage. Many lenders now offer fixed interest rates for 1 to 30 years—often at historically low levels. Fixing your rate means predictable payments and protection from future rate increases. A variable rate mortgage offers potentially lower interest rates and flexible overpayment options to help you save more.
Unlock Home Equity for Improvements or Investment
Switching your mortgage also gives you the opportunity to release equity from your home. You can use this to:
- Fund home improvements or renovations
- Consolidate high-interest debts
- Invest in a holiday home or second property
Reduced or Covered Switching Costs
Worried about the cost of switching? Most lenders offer incentives or cashback deals to cover legal fees, valuation costs, and other switching expenses—making the process easier and more affordable than ever.

Why You May Not Be Able to Switch Your Mortgage
While switching your mortgage can offer better rates and potential savings, it’s not always the right move—or even possible—for everyone. Here are common reasons why mortgage switching may not make sense in certain situations:
Your Current Lender Offers a Better Rate
If your existing lender offers a more competitive interest rate, switching may not provide any financial benefit.
You're Locked Into a Fixed Rate
If you’re still within a fixed-rate period, early repayment charges or penalties could outweigh any potential savings from switching.
Your Property Has Decreased in Value
If your home is in negative equity or has dropped in value, you may not qualify for a new mortgage with another lender.
Your Income Has Decreased
Lenders assess your current ability to repay. A drop in income may affect your eligibility to switch.
You Have a Poor Credit History
A low credit score or past missed payments can make it harder to get approved for a new mortgage deal.
Your Mortgage Balance is Too Low
If your mortgage is below €50,000 or you have less than five years remaining, lenders may not find it financially viable to take you on.
How long does it take to switch mortgage?
On average the process takes about 6 weeks. It is important your solicitor requests the deeds from your existing lender as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
