Confused? No need to be….
Permanent TSB has just launched what would seem like a brand new type of mortgage but it’s not really….
It’s a bit of a gimmick but as gimmicks go, it’s not a bad one. It is unlikely that you would avail of many of the offers (see below) but whatever happens a tree will end up being planted in your name.
Putting on our mortgage broker hats, our advice is to always seek out the mortgage that best suits your circumstances, i.e.
- Are you getting the amount of funds that you need?
- Do the repayment terms suit you?
- And is the rate competitive?
Then and only then should you be influenced by the little extras on offer. More mortgage advice from Blue Sky Mortgages.
As it happens, permanent tsb are competitive in several key areas at present so their ‘Green’ special offer could be a welcome freebie for many customers this winter.
Of course, the Green mortgage is available at all Blue Sky outlets.
Here are the finer details:
