MyMortgages.ie spokesman Joey Sheahan said he expects competition to “heat up”.
He added: “Existing and prospective mortgage holders should take note – there is great value on fixed rates.
“If you are applying for a mortgage, then you absolutely need to look at what all lenders are offering.
“And if you are already tied into a mortgage contract, then you should look at what your switching options are.”
Mortgage experts say homeowners could save up to €100,000 by switching to the lowest rates.
With specialists predicting the competition will begin to “heat up”, AIB has become the latest bank to announce a cut in its fixed loans.
It was claimed 220,000 borrowers currently on standard variable rates of up to 4.5% could benefit.
AIB announced yesterday it is cutting its three and five-year fixed rates from 2.85% to 2.55% and its green five-year fixed rate from 2.5% to 2.45%. This is its second mortgage rate reduction in less than 12 months.
