    Thinking about selling a house that has 200k left on a tracker mortgage. Just wondering is it possible to transfer that portion of the tracker mortgage onto a new property? Mortgage is with BOI.

    Some providers have products called "tracker transfer" mortages - Small print & details differ from provider to provider, check it out.

    Can do with PTSB. If we were borrowing 400K, you would have two loans - 200k with Tracker and 200k with new variable\Fixed rate.

    I think you can only do this once though..

    PTSB also add 1% to the tracker rate you already have.

    Looking into it it seems that BOI only allow you to carry the tracker rate on the remaining amount for 5yrs and then revert to SVR or go on fixed rate. Has anyone any experience if this can be negotiated? Also are any banks open to tracker switching?

    Honestly- its not in their interests to allow this- these mortgages are an ongoing cost for the lenders- they are doing their utmost to legitimately move people from them.

    PTSB- will allow what you're suggesting.
    AIB will allow it with a 1-1.5% increment in the tracking rate.
    BOI- will allow it for 5 years- you are contractually obliged to go to a SVR at that stage.

    Best bet- is have a chat with a broker and see what they can arrange for you.
