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

Richie helped me sort out income protection and found me the cheapest and best value deal I had come across after weeks of own searching. It was very quick and simple to book an intro call and Richie was very pleasant and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, even while answering my many silly questions. Would recommend Lion as a whole based on my interactions with Richie - I'm very happy and relieved at getting what I needed sorted so seamlessly.

Hello, Was looked after by Richard. Flawless communication from start to finish. Made it stress free and responsiveness to my questions was much appreciated. Would be happy to recommend, made something that is usually painful into a easy win. Will be recommending you to my friends going forward Thanks again Richard On a lighter note: Don’t know if the use of emojis is too my taste, but overall social media presence is excellent, in particular in a Facebook group I joined years ago, first time buyers og

For a person who desn't do reviews, me writing this says a LOT! These days, it's trully hard to find such an exceptional group of people who really know their stuff. I've been dealing with a few people at Lions.ie over the past year to get our Mortgage Protection in place, and the understanding, patience and most importantly the swiftness to get everything done quickly is something really rare to see. The information, feedback and all the answers were soo much appreciated, and made everything smooth and stress free. Thank you all again!!!

I dealt with Richard Westman who was great to deal with. He outlined the options relevant to my circumstance and advised on suitable timing to submit my application given the progress of my new build for completion. It was by far the easiest step of the mortgage process for me, so I would highly recommend Lion and in particular Richie, thanks again guys.

Nick, Richie, Hannah and the whole Lion team were fantastic help in navigating quite a stressful mortgage protection process. I have Type 1 EDS with some tough medical history as a child and the guys at Lion lessened a lot of the extra stress of that process, even through several rejections from providers. They’re knowledgeable, concise, and extremely empathetic to regular people navigating the cutthroat financial services world.

Richie has been so helpful from the start right until the finish he has eased my mind being a first time buyer. I will highly recommend you to any of my friends who are buying a home in the future. We had some complications in relation to address and name amendments with the bank and when I went to Richie he was so accomadating and amedned all the details within the space of 24 hours which is amazing.

I discovered Lion via in line forums, and was especially attracted to the plain language on their website. I deal with Richie, whose honesty and straightforward language was very reassuring. I’d been I. Touch with numerous brokers and companies prior to speaking to Richie, yet he was the first person I felt was up front with me. I would absolutely recommend Lion to anyone, and I plan to move all of my insurancebusiness including payment protection etc when my mortgage journey is complete.

The Lion team made me feel well cared for from the start. Nick was great with the setup. When we hit an issue with the mortgage insurance, Richie stepped in immediately and sorted it out fast. They made the whole, complicated process easy. I'd definitely recommend the Lion team, they're excellent and know their stuff!
