Richard Westman was my first point of contact with lowquotes.ie, and as my advisor, I found Richard to be very professional and tremendously helpful. His attention to detail and personable manner helped solidify my decision to avail of lowquotes.ie to assist me with my personal finances.

I needed Life insurance for a mortgage and had no clue about how to go about it. Damien got in touch when I did an online estimate. He was the most helpful person I have ever dealt it! He is very professional with great communicative skills. He was so responsive, by both phone and email. I can't recommend dealing with Damien enough! Such a relaxed and friendly manner. I would use Low Quotes again because of my positive experience with him. We definitely need more Damiens in these positions!

I ran into Low quotes via daft.ie beginning the journey of home ownership in Ireland. The fun that is at this moment in time. I was dealing with Richard Westman. First thing that I liked, the time I was called. Like many I am working from home and the 9 to 5 period can be difficult to get. I was called in the afternoon I said I was interested, while also reaching out to several banks. Being first did irk me and the speed, suspicious. But speaking with Richard, and maybe being a bit more traditional I wanted more time.I heard from 1 Bank. Not even the bank I currently bank with have gotten back to me as of writing.Richard however, had been forward, attentive, understanding and a pleasure to speak with on the phone. No pressure, and giving me the lay of the land before allowing me to make decisions. I prefer an upfront and to the point chat.So I want to thank Richard, and his team, and Low Quotes for all the help and guidance so far. I am truly impressed.

John H was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We had an admittantly less than straight forward mortgage insurance application with a few unforeseen hurdles that we needed to navigate and John was patient helpful and reassuring throughout. He even dropped a line on the day of our closing to see if everything went OK. Great customer care. Highly recommended. Thanks John.

I have had the best experience with Low Quotes. Bernadine Day based in Portlaoise guided me through the entire process. Always available to take my calls and explain, what can be a stressful and confusing process, to me in a calm manner that allowed to trust in the process & her as my broker. If everyone of Low Quotes financial advisor are as good as Bernadine, you'll have a fantastic team. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend. We dealt with Bernadine who made the mortgage journey smooth at all stages. She really made the work load as minimum as possible for us. She helped in all sectors with insurance and connecting us to the solicitors aswell as dealing with the bank. The hours of time Bernadine saved us is priceless and it took so much stress of the journey or purchasing a house. Thanks for everything again.

Serious Illness Protection Information
What is Serious Illness Protection?
Serious Illness Protection pays a lump sum benefit in the event you are diagnosed with a Serious Illness specified by the policy. The amount of illnesses covered vary from provider to provider, so it is important to speak to an advisor before making a choice. Serious Illness Protection can be built into your Life Insurance plan or provided as a Stand-alone plan.
You can fill out our easy to understand form for a free online quote comparison, or speak to one of our Qualified Financial Advisors who will assist you with getting a quote.
How likely am I to get a Serious Illness?
Death comes for us all. But Serious Illness is the biggest risk we face in life. Statistically you are more likely to suffer from Cancer, a heart attack or a stroke before the age of 65, than you are to pass away.
In Ireland, 1 in 3 people are diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime.
What if any of the above cause you to be unable to work? What if you and your family then struggle financially because of this? Does your employer cover sick-pay for serious illnesses? These are all the questions you should be asking yourself, and what can you do about it?
Thankfully, with medical advances, the chances of surviving a major illness are greater than ever. However, A Serious Illness, as its name alone suggests also does indicate the possibility that you could be out of work for a very long time, maybe 6 months or longer.Leading to huge financial consequences.
The security of a lump sum payment offers peace of mind with the knowledge that you will be able to pay your bills while you concentrate on getting better. The funds can be used to pay off your mortgage, assist with utility and medical bills as well as even fund the cost of home renovations if mobility access is required, also provide after care support, or to undertake training for a different relevant occupation.
When should I take out Serious Illness Protection?
The best time to take out Serious Illness Cover is when you are healthy! The healthier you are with any protection product, the less expensive your premiums, as healthier individuals are less risk, being unlikely to have the same rate of claim as their counterparts.
This is especially the case for Serious Illness Protection, statistics show 75% of all protection claims paid out are related to serious illness protection alone.
Serious Illness Protection can be taken out as part of your Life Cover policy, Mortgage Protection policy or as a stand-alone policy, without life cover attached. When taken out as part of your life cover, there are 2 types of Serious Illness Cover which are Stand-alone and Accelerated.
What's covered with Serious Illness Protection?
Most major illnesses are covered by our Serious Illness policies. Some less-common illnesses won’t be listed below. If you are unsure about a specific illness and whether it’s covered, you can free-phone our expert financial advisors on 1800-828-800.
Some major illnesses that are covered –
- Cancer
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Angioplasty for Coronary Artery Disease
- Bacterial Meningitis
- Benign Brain Tumour
- Cardiomyopathy
- Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
- Heart Valve Replacement / Repair
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson’s Disease
What should I do if I don't qualify for Serious Illness Protection?
If you can’t get Serious Illness Cover for whatever reason, it might be worthwhile considering “Cancer Cover” from Zurich Life and “Multi Claim Protection Cover”
