There isn't one fixed answer

A €300,000 mortgage can have very different repayments depending on the interest rate and term. Rather than presenting one number as if it were universal, use the Check The Damage calculator to test the rate and term that apply to you.

Buying the property is more than the mortgage

Remember that your cash requirement can include deposit, stamp duty, legal fees and other purchase costs. Our affordability calculator estimates these so you can see a more realistic picture.

Rates shown elsewhere on the site are periodically updated published rates. This page deliberately does not assume a live rate.

These figures are illustrations, not lender quotes. They exclude mortgage protection, home insurance, property tax, maintenance and other household costs. A different interest rate will change the payment.

How much interest does the term change?

A longer term reduces the required monthly payment but normally increases the total interest paid because the balance is outstanding for longer. A shorter term does the opposite: higher monthly repayments in exchange for less time paying interest.
