Help... Switch from Euro Morgage to £ (Property in Eire)

:confused:My question or predicament is:

I have a Euro Mortgage for a property in Ireland (Eire). I pay by sending a monthly £ Sterling cheque to the Bank of Ireland in Eire. As the £ has weakened so much I am now paying nearly double the amount in £ Sterling to cover the monthly Euro mortgage payments. Does anyway have any advice they can offer on how I can reduce my monthly payments or get round this situation?

    You could indeed try to change to a Sterling mortgage

    There may be some lenders that will do this for you.

    Do you live and England? Is the Eire property a holiday home?

    You may have some limited options then - depending on your whole scenario/circumstances

    You should get in contact with a professional who could help you look into what options are available if any
