Irish residential property – the key facts

March 31, 2011 by namawinelake

It looks as if the stress test results this afternoon will focus on the mortgage loan books of the four institutions being examined. Here is a note setting out the facts and estimates of our residential property. You might also be interested in a comparison between two distressed property markets: Ireland and the US state of Nevada – apparently BlackRock has chosen Nevada as a key comparator when estimating mortgage losses.
