On the 15 year fixed rate, 1.5% of the balance would be charged if you break out  in years 10-12 and there is no break penalty if you break out after year 12. On the 20 year fixed rate 1.5% applies from after 10 years and up to 15 years with no penalty for breaking out in the last 5 years of the term

Finance Ireland only offer their mortgage products through the mortgage broker channel. With the introduction last year of Avant Money as a broker only mortgage provider and the introduction of these longer term fixed rates available via brokers the broker market currently offers lowest market rate and longest term fixed rate. The broker market share has risen significantly over the last 18 months as consumers continue to recognise that the broker channel offers more choice and lower rate options.
