  • Join us on 27th July online for a CPD on the SCSI’s mid year residential overview and the growth in green mortgage financing in Ireland.

    The SCSI Residential Property: Mid-Year Market Monitor is a sentiment report developed in conjunction with the Central Bank of Ireland. While the principal focus of the report is participants’ house price expectations, it also canvasses opinions on the factors underlying these views and assessments regarding the level of transactional activity in the market. A key feature of the report is the Housing Affordability Tracker which outlines affordability scenarios for First Time Buyers looking to purchase a home located in Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, Cork and Galway.

    Paul Lyons from the Central Bank will be discussing green mortgages and how they are a recent financial innovation, being established as a mainstream product in Ireland since 2019. By offering borrowers lower interest rates, green mortgages support wider emissions targets by incentivizing households and businesses to invest in energy efficiency. In this report, we estimate the growth in green mortgage financing in Ireland and describe the characteristics of green mortgage borrowers and loans.
