I've used low quotes services to buy my first house in Ireland and I have been amazed by the work of Niamh. I would have never been able to achieve by myself the result of buying a house in Ireland that it's really hard as you all know. She has always been very punctual and precise knowing exactly everything we needed and once everything was good for her standards we never had problem with the bank. For the job that she did and the effort that she put in our practice, the price I paid is nothing. I couldn't recommend them more and I'll use them again in the future if I'd need it.

My husband and I are first time buyers. We had a really positive experience securing mortgage cover. Colin was so knowledgeable and guided us through the process. Our case was not entirely straightforward from a medical point of view, so having someone on the other end of the phone or advising us by email at every step of the process made it much easier than we had thought it might be! Thank you, Colin!

Outstanding Support From Start to FinishWe received our mortgage drawdown and keys to our new home on 22nd December 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have reached this milestone without the incredible support of Bernadine from LowQuotes.From the very beginning of our journey, Bernadine went above and beyond. She was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain every step clearly — no matter how many questions we had. What truly stood out was how invested she was in our success; this never felt like a transaction, but a genuine partnership.The mortgage process can be overwhelming, but Bernadine made it feel structured, manageable, and even reassuring. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us were exceptional.We are deeply grateful for her dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend Bernadine and LowQuotes to anyone starting their mortgage journey. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will go the extra mile, you’re in the best hands.Thank you for helping us turn a dream into reality.Emmanuel & Dorothy

Your Questions Answered

Think of a financial plan as your GPS in the world of money. Whether you’re saving for a car, planning a big trip, or just wanting to manage your bills better, having a plan helps you get where you want to go without unnecessary detours.

The best time to start was yesterday, and the second-best time is now! It’s never too early or too late to get your finances in order. Starting young gives you a fantastic head start, but making a plan at any age can help improve your financial well-being.

You can definitely start on your own by setting goals and budgeting. However, chatting with one of our financial advisors can be a game-changer for more complex things like investments, retirement planning, or tax strategies. We can offer tailored advice and insights you might not have considered.

Life changes, and so should your financial plan. A good rule of thumb is to give it a once-over annually or after significant life events (think marriage, baby, new job). This way, you can adjust your plan to stay on track with your goals.

A financial plan considers the big picture. It covers income, expenses, savings, investments, debt management, insurance needs, retirement planning, and any other financial goals. Think of it as a comprehensive roadmap for your financial future.
