TV3 Morning Show with Sybil and Martin – is the property market at the bottom?

We were really pleased to feature on TV3’s ‘Morning Show’ with Sybil and Martin (Brian was standing in for Martin) in a conversation about property prices and whether or not we have hit the bottom. Aoife Walsh from the Respond! Housing Agency was also there giving some great information and advice for borrowers in trouble.

Mortgage rates set to rise by 1%

Financial adviser Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers said other lenders would follow Permanent TSB. He advised affected borrowers to sign up for a two-year fixed deal of 5.19pc.

State mortgage aid up five-fold in four years

Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers has warned that expected interest rate hikes this year will push even more householders to the edge. “I can’t see how they (number of applicants) won’t rise because it’s becoming more popular and more necessary,” he said. “The scheme is in place to help you get over the hump, in the hope that you’ll get back to work soon. “But the end result is that there will be more people on it come the end of the year as interest rates go up and unemployment rises.”
