Hi Dr

Great Wizardry there!

I have put in a table of the best rates in the second post.

 
@Brendan Burgess

Just something to bear in mind is that not all of the Credit Unions listed can actually issue mortgages as some have already reached regulatory limits, and some are operating wait lists. This might make them more suitable to switchers than buyers.

As most people are only eligible to join 1 or 2 Credit Unions, a quick phone call would clarify the situation.

For example, St Raphaels Garda Credit Union

"New Waiting List For Mortgage Applications

Like all other credit unions, St. Raphael’s Garda Credit Union is subject to regulatory limits which restrict the amount of mortgages we can provide to our members.

In order to manage this limited supply as fairly as possible, we are introducing a waiting list for all mortgage applications."

 
@RedOnion

Afaik only St Pauls (Garda) and St Raphaels (Garda) have hit the buffers. This is a 'regulatory' restriction at an unrealistic level by the business prevention axis known at the Central Bank.

You mean that in the case of a buyer they need to issue a new mortgage but in the case of a switcher they issue a "replacement" mortgage and the latter would not be affected by any regulatory limit?
