AIB (NI) is cutting interest rates across its 2 Year and 5 Year Fixed Mortgages, with reductions of up to 0.90%, supporting those aiming to get on the property ladder, investing in energy efficient properties and homeowners looking to move home, or lock in a new rate.

On a 2 Year Fixed Rate, customers can benefit from a 4.39% rate where the loan represents 60% of the value of the home. This compares with 5.15% previously.

The bank is also reducing the rate to 3.99% for customers seeking a Green Five Year Fixed Rate mortgage where the loan represents less than 60% of the value  of  an energy efficient home.
