Bank offers mortgage customers €1.5k for legal fees

Ulster Bank is to seek to grow its share in the mortgage market by offering customers €1,500 towards their legal fees.

The legal fee payment, which will be made following mortgage drawdown, is available to customers who have a mortgage offer issued between March 13 and June 13, 2015.

The bank yesterday said it is targetting the mortgage market as a key channel for growth as it challenges the two domestic pillar banks, AIB and Bank of Ireland.
