What is the difference between mortgage protection and life insurance?
When should you consider income protection?
Can you get insurance if you have a long-term illness or condition?
How much extra does your insurance cost if you are a smoker (or vaper)?

Getting insurance for your mortgage can be confusing and stressful. You'll hear jargon and phrases you've never heard before and there can be some unexpected hurdles.

Here to help us navigate this topic, answer these questions and much more is Nick McGowan from Lion.ie.  Nick has years of experience in life insurance but is the first to admit it can be a bit of a boring topic. With Lion.ie they do a great job making it a little less drab, a little more fun and in doing so take the stress and confusion out of the process.

Lion.ie has been recommended to me more than any other insurance broker so they are well worth checking out. Their Learning Hub, is the best online resource I have found to learn about insurance.

In this episode, we chat with Chrissy Hughes who recently purchased in Cabra. Chrissy fills us in on the journey she went through, including initial rejection from the bank and waiting a full year being sale agreed before finally getting the keys.

Chrissy found the entire process (or lack of a process) so frustrating that she started the First Time Buyers Ireland Facebook group. This is a place where people could go and ask questions and get advice from people on the journey themselves or who had recently completed it. 

Today, the Facebook group is a thriving community of over 6k members and has helped countless people to navigate the house buying journey, get out the other side and into their dream homes.
