* Loan to Value is the outstanding balance of the mortgage facility calculated as a percentage of the value of the property. For example, if you have a mortgage of €100,000 on a house that's worth €200,000 you have an LTV of 50%.
For example
If the outstanding amount owed on your mortgage is less than 50% of the current value of your home, you will be able to avail of a more competitive rate; moving from today’s SVR of 3.95% to our new MVR of 3.60% (a cut of 0.35%, based on current rates).

We wrote to all eligible existing Home Loan customers (Standard variable rate, fixed and MVR customers) to invite them to switch to an MVR mortgage in September 2015. A reminder letter was also issued between June and July 2016 to all customers who were still eligible to avail of this offer. Please see Question 25 for your options if you cannot locate your MVR Switch Letter.
All eligible customers received a Mortgage Rate Switch Information Pack from permanent tsb in September 2015, which contained an application form, valuation voucher, important information, MVR repayment examples and terms and conditions of the offer.
A reminder letter was also issued between June and July 2016 from permanent tsb to eligible customers who had not yet availed of the offer. To apply for a MVR please take the following steps:
Yes. If your mortgage is currently in arrears or in an Alternative Repayment Arrangement (ARA), you can still apply to avail of the rate switch to an MVR provided you are otherwise eligible. Please contact us on 0818 211 644 to find out how your mortgage repayment will be impacted.
The MVR Rate Switch Offer will be available to customers who have an LTV greater than 90%, including those in negative equity.
If you have a OnePlan and were eligible for the offer you would have received an MVR Switch pack from permanent tsb which contained an application form. To switch to an MVR you must give the authority to permanent tsb to set-off any remaining funds in your OnePlan Holding Account so that the resulting balance outstanding is the current balance on which you are making repayments under your OnePlan mortgage.
Please sign the “OnePlan Mortgages” section in the MVR Switch application form if you authorise the transfer of the remaining amount towards your mortgage balance. Your OnePlan Holding Account will then be closed.
If a OnePlan customer applies to switch their mortgage to an MVR they must return their cheque book to permanent tsb and confirm there are no cheques currently outstanding or issued in the 7 days prior to completing their application.
OnePlan Accounts will be switched to an MVR mortgage within 30 days from receipt of application, subject to completion of the application form in full and the completed application form and valuation being submitted together.
If you are a OnePlan account holder and would like to find out if you are eligible, please call us on 0818 50 24 24.
If you have any undrawn amounts on your mortgage, you can apply to switch to an MVR if certain conditions are met once you are found to be eligible. The conditions include:
If remaining funds are to be drawn down, all loan offer conditions/ Bank requirements have been met in relation to stage payments or undrawn amounts generally, including production of the certificate of compliance.
Any undrawn funds must be drawn down or waived by the customer.
Please sign the “Self Build Mortgages or Mortgages with other Undrawn Amounts” section on the MVR Switch Offer application form if you wish to waive the drawn down of the remaining undrawn funds.
If your mortgage is secured on another property or properties (referred to as “cross charged property”) in addition to your home, you will need to obtain valuations from a permanent tsb panel valuer in respect of such cross charged property. This will be at your own expense. Valuation fee will be a maximum of €150, which is inclusive of VAT but excludes valuer’s travel expenses. (1-20km = Nil, 21km – 40km = €1.00 per km. Above 40km to be agreed between the Customer and the Valuer prior to inspection).The Managed Variable Rate which will apply will depend on the balance of your outstanding home loan mortgage(s) divided by the combined valuations of your home together with such other cross charged property.
If your Home Loan term has expired and a balance remains due to permanent tsb, we will be unable to process a switch to an MVR until a new home loan term has been agreed and put in place on your mortgage. Please contact us on 0818 211 644 and we will advise you of the next steps required to make the switch to an MVR.
An MVR Switch Offer application will be processed no later than 10 working days from receipt (excluding OnePlan Accounts: which can take up to 30 days), subject to completion of the application form and valuation being submitted together.
The MVR will be applied from the date of the rate switch being completed, the repayment will be changed allowing for 15 days’ notice before the next bill (if next bill is less than 15 days following the rate switch, repayment will not be changed until following bill).
