Walk into any conversation about saving for college in Ireland and you will hear about monthly amounts, investment growth and the Small Gift Exemption. What you will rarely hear about is what happens to the plan when life goes wrong.    That silence costs families dearly. Because over a 15 or 20 year saving journey, the odds of something going wrong — a death, a serious diagnosis, a long spell out of work — are far higher than most parents like to think.    The good news: protecting an education plan is neither complicated nor expensive. Four covers do the job.    Cover one: Life Insurance  The simplest of the four. If a parent dies, the policy pays a lump sum that can complete the child’s fund in a single payment. Size it to the gap between what you have saved and your target. A healthy 35-year-old can buy €150,000 of term cover for roughly €10-€20 a month.    Cover two: Serious Illness Cover  Also called Specified Illness cover. On dia...

  Most people set up life cover when they take out a mortgage and then never look at it again. At the time, it makes sense. You have just bought a home, taken on a significant financial commitment and arranged the protection you need. But life rarely stays the same for long. A new child, a bigger mortgage, a new job, a change in income or different family responsibilities can all change the amount of financial protection you may need. Your policy may still be active, but is it still suitable for the life you are living today? For anyone with a mortgage in Ireland , reviewing protection should be an important part of wider financial planning — not something you only think about when buying a property. Life Changes. Your Protection Should Keep Up. Imagine arranging your life cover in 2016. At that point, perhaps you had recently bought your first home, had one income supporting the household and had no children. Your mortgage and financial commitments were based on the circumstances ...

 Most Irish homeowners hold huge sums locked up in property. This guide from Money Maximising Advisors explains the three main ways to release some of that value. You will learn who qualifies. You will see how much you can typically unlock. And you will see the real trade-offs each route involves. QUICK ANSWER : Irish homeowners can release equity from their home or investment property in three main ways: a lifetime loan (for age 60+, no monthly repayments, repaid on death or sale), a remortgage / top-up (refinance to release cash while continuing monthly repayments), or downsizing (sell current home, buy smaller, invest the difference). Lifetime loans typically unlock 15–50% of property value depending on age, with rates around 5–8% compounded. The cash released is tax-free.

Your mortgage rate isn’t just a number on a page. It directly affects one of the biggest monthly expenses in your household budget. Even a small difference in your mortgage rate in Ireland can have a meaningful impact on your monthly repayments and the total amount you pay over the life of your mortgage. And “set and forget”? That could be one of the most expensive settings on your mortgage. When Was the Last Time You Checked Your Mortgage Rate? Many homeowners arrange a mortgage, choose a fixed rate and then simply carry on with everyday life. But when your fixed period ends, or when your circumstances change, it can be worth reviewing your options. With many new fixed rates sitting around the mid-3% range while the ECB holds steady, the difference between available mortgage rates can translate into real money. For example, a difference in your interest rate could affect your monthly repayment by a significant amount depending on your outstanding balance and remaining mortgage term. ...
