The European Central Bank has confirmed another rate rise coming next week for mortgage holders, which will leave thousands of people forking out an additional €200 each month.
The move will mainly affect tracker mortgage holders but it will also making the borrowing process even more unattainable for first-time buyers in Ireland.
This will mark the fifth ECB rate rise since July 2022, and will leave a typical tracker mortgage with around €150,000 left to pay forking out €2,400 in additional payments per year, according to Independent.ie.
