Information on our current mortgage rates

Residential fixed rates

  • With fixed rate mortgages the repayment amount is fixed for an initial period. 
  • Early Redemption Charges apply during this time.
  • When your fixed rate mortgage expires you will revert to a follow on Variable Rate* unless you choose from any other mortgage product that you may be offered at this time.

*Follow on Variable Rates are not linked to the European Central Bank (ECB) base rate or SVR, this means the rate can increase at any time even if there is no change to either of these rates.

Please note that Ulster Bank will have completed the transfer of your mortgage to another provider by the time your new fixed rate expires. In this scenario, you will receive advance notice from the new provider prior to your rate expiring, advising of the rate options available to you.

Residential fixed rates

Residential variable rates

Our new business variable rate mortgages track Ulster Bank Standard Variable Rate (SVR*) for the entire life of the loan, or until you choose an alternative rate, if sooner. Standard Variable Rate is currently 4.30%.

If you choose a variable rate, you can move to a fixed rate at any time with no Early Redemption Charges.

 

* As Standard Variable Rate (SVR) is not linked to the European Central Bank base rate (ECB), the rate can increase or decrease at any time even if there is no change in the ECB base rate.
