SUBSCRIBEDear Karen,Â
I mortgaged my home that I built on the farm with Ulster Bank and I knew I need to move banks for some time but put it on the long finger. I am wondering if I have left it too late as I read that the interest rates are rising and that there are huge delays with switching banks because so many people are changing now. Can you advise as to what I should do?
