 Here's how MoneyBack Mortgages works
|
Irish Mortgage lenders (building societies & banks) want your business so they pay commissions to mortgage brokers who refer you to them for a home loan.
Typically the commission is 0.5% to 1%. Doesn't sound like much until you realise that on the average Irish mortgage it is €2,500 and on a €350,000 loan it is €3,500.
The first problem: Most brokers tell you they work for you for free - and they do - but they pocket the commission. If one lender pays 1% and another pays 0.5%, which one do you think will be recommended?
Only one broker, MoneyBack Mortgages, give that commission back to you so you know that MoneyBack Mortgages gain is not a factor in their recommendation - plus, it's a nice windfall for you just when you need it most.
The second problem: Most people who organise a mortgage for you are agents for only one or two banks or lenders. How do you know that one of these is the best lender for you? - you don't. MoneyBack Mortgages deal with 13 lenders in the Irish market.
Remember that some lenders pay higher commissions than others and one lender may pay higher commissions on one type of mortgage than another. Given that the lender your broker recommends to you can make a huge difference to the commission he earns, can you be content that the broker forgets all about that and chooses a lender based purely on your best interests?
MoneyBack Mortgages is the one broker who charge you a fee but give you back a full refund of any commission they earn from the lender.
What struck me, apart from the 'commission-refunded' bit, was that this arrangement removes any temptation to recommend a particular lender based on the commission the broker might get
- because MoneyBack Mortgages give that back to you anyhow! They are paid the same regardless of who they arrange your mortgage with.
Finally, solicitors generally charge conveyancing fees based on a percentage of the property value - usually 1% or more than €2,500 on an average property - that's more than MoneyBack Mortgages entire service is likely to cost, including legal fees.
So I got in touch with Nick at MoneyBack Mortgages and asked him about MoneyBack Mortgages service.
It turns out to be even better than I thought.
Here's how it works:
- MoneyBack Mortgages charge you a fixed fee (don't worry, just read on).
- MoneyBack Mortgages then set about finding you the best mortgage from 13 lenders operating in the Irish market, not just 2 or 3, and most importantly, without being influenced by which one pays what commission.
- Then, if the mortgage lender you choose is one who pays a commission (and most do), MoneyBack Mortgages give that money back to you. That's how you know they're not recommending a lender based on what's good for MoneyBack Mortgages!

Let's look a mortgage example |
Say you are applying for a €450,000 mortgage from a lender who pays 1% commission on a house valued at €500,000

Moneyback €3750 |
That's a saving of €2250 upfront and it doesn't take account of any savings you might make on the mortgage repayments. Remember, MoneyBack Mortgages have no incentive to recommend anything but the very best deal for you - they get paid exactly the same anyhow. If there's a commission to be paid, you get it, not the broker. |
