EBS mortgage FAQs

How long will EBS take to approve my mortgage application?

EBS will acknowledge receipt of your application within three working days. They will then check it over and let you know within a further three days if anything is missing.

When they have everything they need, it usually takes ten working days to decide whether or not to approve you for a mortgage.

Can I pay off my EBS mortgage early?

If you have a variable rate mortgage, you have more flexibility to pay part or all of your mortgage off early without penalty, but always check.

If you have a fixed rate mortgage, paying off too much before the product term ends may result in you being charged an early breakage cost, which may be expensive.

Can I get 3% or €2,000 cashback on my EBS mortgage?

Yes, you could get up to 3% cashback on your mortgage if you’re:

  • Buying your first home
  • Switching your mortgage
  • Moving house

From the 25th of August 2022, the EBS up to 3% Back in Cash Offer is not available on any variable rate product and the 1 Year Fixed Rate.
