PTSB will get you moving on your home buying journey

When it comes to buying a home, PTSB is here to support you at every stage of your journey.

Whether you’re just getting started saving for your deposit or have found your dream house and are looking for mortgage approval, PTSB is bringing the best of technology and our people together for a mortgage experience that works for you.

Saving and your budget

As a general rule of thumb, you will need a deposit of at least 10% of the house price as a First Time Buyer and a Second Time Buyer. You’ll want to get into the habit of saving a regular amount every month to demonstrate your repayment ability. Through paying rent or saving the equivalent of your monthly mortgage repayment amount, you can show that you can repay your proposed mortgage repayment.

Use the PTSB Mortgage Calculator to check how much you could borrow and how much your monthly repayments would be.

Finding the mortgage that’s right for you

There is a range of mortgage options available at PTSB to suit your needs and lifestyle including our lower, competitive fixed mortgage rates to help get you moving.

The PTSB Green Mortgage offers lower 3- and 5-year fixed rates for both new and existing customers if you are buying, building, structurally renovating or currently own a high-energy rated home and your home has or will have a building energy rating of A1 to B3 (inclusive).

You can also get 2% cashback at drawdown and 2% cashback on your monthly repayments when you pay from an Explore Account until 2030, with the PTSB mortgage cashback offer.
