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

Having a mortgage protection application rejected is terrifying. You feel powerless and not in control of the outcome of something that you have worked so hard for. The service Nick and Kathleen offer is invaluable. Their sound advice, guidance, and coordination of my second application really made me feel supported. Lion.ie were able to advise me on how I could improve my health before my second application and identify the company that was most likely to look favourably on my application. This, I believe, dramatically increased the chances of me getting approval. Thanks to Lion.ie, I secured mortgage protection. I will forever be grateful to Lion.ie.

We had a preliminary call with Nick in early Feb when we realised that mortgage protection was going to be more difficult than we thought. Nick guided us through the their approach with insurers. We made our application with Kathleen supporting - and she was second to none answering our questions, processing our paperwork and dealing with insurance companies. They were fantastic from end-to-end, responsive and realistic. We were thrilled to get cover and we're now getting ready to drawdown our mortgage. Can't recommend the team enough.

Having been refused Mortgage Protection on medical grounds multiple times before, I wasn't holding out too much hope of getting approved when I contacted Lion. However, both Nick and Kathleen really went above and beyond and managed to get it for me (and at a reasonable rate too). Kathleen was very prompt with replies to any questions that I had and explained everything thoroughly. She made the whole process very easy. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks again!

We found John @Lion.ie simply fantastic, I had what to me appeared to be a complicated medical history yet John was able to take the information provided on the forms and simplify it all. He made great recommendations and was able to suggest the best insurance provider based on our info and then get us the best price, we expected a massive premium but John worked his magic and it came in at an eye watering very low amount, eye watering with tears of joy. Would very happily recommend lion.ie and John in particular to everyone

Lion.ie has great information on different insurances and protections with an easy to use calculator. We dealt with John who was excellent. He explained everything clearly and talked us through the different policies. John was always available to answer any questions. When drawing down a mortgage do not just accept the Banks provider shop around. Lion.ie has the best deals and saved us a lot.

Myself and my partner were having issues securing mortgage protection so we went to Lion.ie for assistance. Kathleen went above and beyond to help us secure a policy and kept us calm during a very stressful time. Lion.ie are extremely helpful and care about the outcome of who they are helping. Not only that but their online blogs are extremely informative and helpful. I would recommend lion.ie to anyone who would listen. Thank you to Kathleen and the team
