Additional qualifying information
  • Please note: If you are on a variable rate there is no charge to switch to the Green Mortgage. If you are on a fixed rate, you may be charged a breakage fee to switch to the Green Mortgage, unless you wait until your initial fixed-rate term has matured.
  • As a BER cert may not be available when building a new home or structurally renovating an existing home, PTSB will accept an Engineers Certificate of Inspection confirming the proposed BER post completion of the works.
  • A valid BER cert is available to download from the SEAI website at no cost. If you do not have a BER Certificate or it has expired, there will be a cost associated with obtaining a new BER Certificate.
  • Existing customers releasing equity to achieve a BER of A1 to B3 (inclusive), the Green Mortgage will only apply to the top-up Equity Release amount and not the existing loan.
  • Green Mortgage excludes customers doing non-structural works where the BER cannot be certified. However, if BER can be proven post drawdown and works, you may avail of a Green Mortgage. 
  • At the end of your initial fixed-rate period you can choose from our interest rate options available to existing customers at that stage, this may include a Green Mortgage option. You will be required to submit a valid BER Certificate (in-date), confirming a BER of A1 to B3 (inclusive).
  • The Green Mortgage is available only to home loan customers, who choose a 3 or a 5 year fixed interest rate (excludes Buy to Let and non-Structural Top Up Loans).

3 Year Green Mortgage high value repayment example

Based on a loan amount of €250,000.00 over a 20 year term, with our 3 year Green Mortgage high value fixed rate of 3.35% and Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) of 4.17%* for new customers, the initial 36 monthly payments would be €1,430.70. After year three, the fixed rate will mature to the prevailing Managed Variable Rate (MVR), currently at 4.40%, meaning 204 subsequent monthly repayments of €1,549.43, unless an alternative fixed rate is selected or the current prevailing MVR changes.

*New mortgage customers: Based on a 3 year Green Mortgage high value fixed rate of 3.35% (APRC of 4.17%) and current prevailing MVR of 4.40%, with an LTV of ≤60% and a loan amount of €250,000.00 over a 20-year term (240 repayments), the total cost of credit would be €117,948.39 with total amount repayable of €367,948.39. This includes a valuation fee of €150, Property Registration Authority (PRA) fee of €175, and security vacate fee of €35. The applicable maturity rate will be based on the LTV on the date your Maturity Options Letter is issued. High-value mortgage rates are available on loan amounts ≥ €250,000.

Lending criteria, terms and conditions will apply. Mortgage approval is subject to an assessment of suitability and affordability. Applicants must be aged 18 or over. Security is required and a credit agreement will be secured by a mortgage or by a right related to residential immovable property. Life and Home Insurance are also required.

For First Time and Second Time Buyers a maximum Loan to Value (LTV) of 90% will apply to a property’s purchase price. The maximum LTV for customers who hold their current mortgage with another bank but wish to switch their mortgage to PTSB while also releasing equity is 85%. Maximum loan amount will typically not exceed 4 times an individual’s gross income for First time Buyers & 3.5 times an individual’s gross income for Second time Buyers.

The monthly repayment on a 20 year mortgage with Loan to Value (LTV) greater than 80% with variable borrowing rate of 4.70% on mortgage of €100,000 is €643.50 for 240 months. Total amount repayable is €154,799.06. If interest rates increase by 1% an additional €55.73 would be payable per month. For this example, Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC) of 4.84% applies and consists of variable borrowing rate of 4.70%, valuation fee of €150, Property Registration Authority (PRA) fee of €175, and security vacate fee of €35.
