I hope somebody can help me out here. I am in process of moving my mortgage from one bank to another. When I took my mortgage from first bank there was a clause that If I move my mortgage within 5 years then I would have to pay back solicitor fees.
Is there a way to avoid that ? Or will I have to pay it back to my first bank.
Most banks are very keen for the business. For example First Active offer up to 1200 euro towards legal fees. AIB, Halifax and Bank of Scotland offer 1000 euro. My solicitor charged me € 650 plus VAT plus outlay to re-mortgage and it came to just under 1000 euro.
