Irish Mortgage Brokers Blog

Brian O’Donovan of TV3 covered this story, which relates to a press release by the Financial Regulator.

We were featured on the RTE news yesterday on a piece about negative equity, property prices and the Irish market.

The second piece is in studio, where David Duffy joins Brian Dobson, talking about property prices in Ireland and discussing the recent report which shows that the rate of decline in prices has been slowing.

Martina Fitzgerald of RTE 9 O’Clock news did a piece on the Government backed lender Home Choice Loan, critiquing the fact that they have only advanced 5 mortgages since their inception in autumn of 2008. Home Choice Loan was set up to alleviate the absence of lending in the Irish mortgage market but it has failed to do this which is evident in the numbers.

We believe that Home Choice Loan does have a very relevant and meaningful role in the mortgage market, but not in the guise of being another lender competing with the rest of the high street, rather in facilitating people in negative equity or arrears.

We were really pleased to be featured on TV3’s news with Brian Daly on how AIB rate changes would affect consumers, the clip above was aired on the 30th of March 2010
