What else do I need to know?

Warning: If you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.

Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit, a hire- purchase agreement, a consumer-hire agreement or a BNPL agreement in the future.

2% cashback at drawdown is paid into the customer’s mortgage paying account (which does not need to be a permanent tsb account) within 40 working days of mortgage drawdown. The qualifying period (11 January 2016 until 31 March 2023) may be extended as permanent tsb decides.

2% cashback monthly is paid until 31 December 2027. Payments must be made by Direct Debit or Internal Standing Order from an Explore Account. The following payments do not qualify for cashback: cash, cheque, bank draft, electronic funds transfer, debit/credit card, manual Direct Debits, Standing Orders set up by the customer, lump sum payments, and returned or arrears payments. If any changes to the billed monthly mortgage repayment are made they must be agreed by both you and permanent tsb to be eligible for the cashback monthly offer.

If either the Explore Account or the Mortgage is terminated for any reason then the monthly cashback will cease. Permanent tsb retains the right to close the Explore Account as per the General Terms & Conditions. Offer applies to home loans only i.e. excludes buy-to-lets. It should be noted that any change in use of the property from personal use to letting could have tax implications for you.

Information correct as of 29 April 2022 but is subject to change.

Lending criteria, terms and conditions apply. Mortgage approval is subject to assessment of suitability and affordability. Applicants must be aged 18 or over. Security and home and life insurance are required.
