What is a repayment break?
With a 3 month repayment break you will not have to make any monthly mortgage payments for up to three months.
However, it’s important to remember that you still owe that money and the interest on your mortgage still accrues during the repayment break.
Impact to your mortgage contract
This repayment break will increase your monthly mortgage repayments following the three-month period. Full details of this will be provided to you in the Letter of Variation to your contract.
A typical worked example:
A customer who has a mortgage of €300,000 over a 25-year term, on a 3.5% interest rate
Current monthly repayments = €1,502
After 4 years and 9 months the customer takes a 3-month mortgage repayment break
At start of year 5 they commence monthly repayments again
Their monthly mortgage repayment increases to €1,528
This is an increase of €26 per month. The repayment increases to ensure that the loan is still repaid by the agreed maturity date.
