Mortgage switching activity has surged, with approval volumes increasing year on year by 153% and the numbers switching mortgage now double that of four years ago.

Mortgage holders on either variable or fixed rates with less than two years to run need to act now to avoid challenging repayment hikes, experts have warned.

This figure increases to €4,678 if your home has a building energy rating of B3+ and you are eligible for a Green rate, with the introduction of a market leading fixed rate of 1.9%.
