We are in our 50’s and had a real challenge on our hand to get mortgage protection insurance as my wife had type 2 diabetes with a really high HbA1c reading and high blood pressure of 155/90 along with very high BMI of 36 and I had elevated cholesterol 7.1 and white coat syndrome for high blood pressure at 165/82 if I got my blood pressure checked at GP with a BMI of 32. John Hourigan at lion.ie was amazing to work with and gave us precise advice on how to approach the insurers for getting our mortgage protection in place. He took our blood reports and other Medical data and approached the underwriters in advance securing pre approvals which was amazing as we had got a lot of postponements due to our tough medical health .He then guided us through the PMA process whereby our GP had to fill out our medical reports. When John went on holidays Kathleen Sammon and Hannah McGowan provided amazing support and coverage. I was anxious , nervous & frustrated and would call and email multiple times asking questions and following up on status and was always responded to courteously and in a timely fashion. We have secured our mortgage protection which enabled us to buy our dream house. I am delighted we chose Lion.ie for our mortgage protection

I cannot recommend Lyon enough. We got mortgage protection with them two years ago and they were fantastic. I have an underlying health condition and was very nervous about applying for mortgage protection, but from the start Nick was great, and Kathleen explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy. Buying your first home is stressful, but mortgage protection with these guys was the easiest part. Two years later I got in touch with Nick to look into salary protection insurance, not thinking it was something I would qualify for. Once again, Nick and Hannah were incredibly helpful and supportive, and I was able to get cover. I work with the public, and I have already recommended them to many people—and will continue to do so. Best in the business!

Very helpful service, particularly for someone confronting the daunting prospect of getting mortgage protection insurance with a chronic illness - I'm type 1 diabetic. John was very helpful and attentive throughout the process.

Had a really good experience with John! He helped me to take the stress out of getting mortgage protection & put up with my many (possibly silly!!) questions & was super quick & responsive.

Had an absolutely brilliant experience with Lion.ie, the team are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and had our mortgage protection sorted within minutes. Once I activated the policy, John had our documents over to us as soon as they came in. Really stress free, seamless process. I found John and Nick a pleasure to deal with and will be recommending them to anyone I know who is looking for mortgage protection!

I’m a 55 year old male with various medical issues over the years but thanks to John’s guidance, patience and understanding he got us over the line with our mortgage protection and now my wife and I have successfully managed to buy our forever home. I had a major health-wise hiccup at one stage along the way ( my fault ) whilst in the middle of my application and I honestly thought all was lost but John got us there in the end. Don’t even think of looking elsewhere. John and this company know what they are doing. A+

I naively left Mortgage Protection until one of the final steps during my house-buying process. I had recently been prescribed a new medication by my doctor, and my cover was postponed by another company through a different broker. I rang Lion by chance to see if there was anything that could be done, as I was in the final stages of securing the mortgage and John could not have been more helpful. He was right on the ball with submitting the application, ensuring my GP received the necessary documents and sent them back quickly. Within no time at all, I had cover sorted and I am now about to collect the keys to my new home. I highly recommend Lion.

John, Nick and the team at Lion.ie are fantastic! I had a bit of an awkward case and they sorted everything so quickly. They are all so quick on emails so you're not waiting for weeks for any update on anything which we really appreciated! We would highly recommend them.

We had the pleasure of dealing with John at lion.ie to help us get sorted with our mortgage protection. And I can honestly say we would have been lost without him. We hit a stumbling block in our application which put the house purchase at some serious risk of falling through. However John was calm, kept us level headed and he managed to work quickly to get us sorted with another insurance provider with a tight time constraint. He answered all our questions by email promptly and he was happy to jump on a call and explain things to us if needs be, it really helped to cut down the stress of it all. 10/10 will defintetly be reccomending to friends and family in the future.

Third time using Lion (this time with John). I find the experience hassle free and definitely worthwhile if there is any question mark around life cover as those issues can be a significant cause of delay when buying property.
