Your mortgage is likely to be your biggest monthly expense once you draw down your loan. It's vitally important that you find the best rates and get expert help for the process before committing to a bank. And that's where we come in.

Our mortgage broker service is comprehensive, impartial and free. We show mortgages available in Ireland from lenders and which ones best suit your preferences. Once you find the mortgage that best suits your needs, you can arrange a callback with one of our experienced mortgage advisors. They will talk you through your options, and if everything suits you can begin the process of uploading your documents. 

Here we explain how our mortgage comparison and broker services work, so you can start your mortgage journey off right. This is the second guide in our eight-part mortgage guide series, which aims to equip you with all you need to know.

How do I find the best mortgage rates on bonkers.ie? 

If you are still shopping around for the best rates, you can check out what sort of rates are available on the market. 

  • Simply go onto the mortgages page on bonkers.ie, click on the mortgage type you are looking for (first-time buyer, moving home, mortgage switcher) and click ‘apply for a mortgage’. 
  • You will be asked to input the value of the home you are looking to buy (it can be an estimate), the value of the loan you are looking to take out and the length of time you are wishing to borrow for.

  • You can then schedule a callback through our free mortgage broker service.
