    Hi,

    I'm looking to upgrade. Bought in 2005 and €145K left on Mortgage.

    The house I'm looking at would only require finance of about €45k. I'm thinking of just taking a personal loan from the Credit Union. Would this allow me to stay on the tracker mortgage I'm currently on with ICS?

    I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure a mortgage is specifically against an existing property and not a new one

    The mortgage you have is on the particular property that's mortgaged. It's not just a loan of money, it's a loan of money based on the value of a specific property.



    I'm no expert, but AFAIK you'd have to clear the mortgage you have on your current property, and take out a new one on the new property.


    Whether or not you'd be able to negotiate a similar tracker rate on the new property, I have no idea, but I seriously doubt it.

    Some banks (I know PTSB does for instance) have a tracker portability product. Essentially you keep a tracker (at a higher rate) for the existing amount and the rest is at current market rates.

    It seems my provider, BOI, do this too. Existing rate plus 1% as long as you are not extending the term of the mortgage.
