Step-by-Step Guide

Applying for TIRR is very similar to our normal mortgage application process.

Starting off

Meet your Mortgage Broker. They will help you to complete a new mortgage application Form and a TIRR Application Form

Approval in principle (AIP)

If approved, your mortgage Broker will send you an Approval in Principle letter confirming that we can give you a mortgage and you are eligible for TIRR.

Selling your home

To take up TIRR, before drawing down your new mortgage, you will need to sell your home and clear your existing mortgage in full.

Decide on a home

Looking for your new home is the exciting bit. Once you’ve found it, you may put in an offer. If it’s accepted, it’s back to us.

Once your offer is accepted

Talk to your mortgage Broker once you have made an offer on a new home and provide them with the details of the home, the name of your solicitor and arrange a valuation report.

-Got questions?-

Here are answers to some questions you may have.

A tracker mortgage ‘tracks’ changes to the ECB (European Central Bank) rate. If the ECB decides to increase or decrease its rate, the rate on the Tracker Mortgage will go up or down by the same percentage.

Under a Tracker Interest Rate Retention, you can keep your Tracker interest rate plus an additional 1% on your current Tracker mortgage balance if you want to sell your existing property and buy a new principal private residence.

TIRR is only available to existing Haven home loan tracker mortgage customers who are up to date with their existing mortgage repayments.

Up to 90% loan to value (LTV) finance is available to you towards the purchase price of your new property. Up to 80% loan to value is available for a studio apartment valued at €275,000 or above, or a one-bedroom property. We do not lend for the purchase of studio apartments valued at under €275,000.

Once your Mortgage Broker receives your application and any other information, they have asked you to give us as set out in the Approval in Principle checklist, they will contact you within three business days to say we have received it.

  • If there is any information missing, they will tell you within three business days;
  • We will let your mortgage broker know our decision on your mortgage application within ten business days of receiving all the information we need;
  • If we cannot make a decision within ten business days, we will tell your mortgage broker why and when we are likely to make a decision.
