Highly recommend Financial Innovation Group in Cork! Virginia helped me throughout my entire mortgage journey, from the initial assessment all the way to the final offer. She kept me constantly updated on the status of my application and clearly explained every next step. Her excellent guidance was key to securing my loan offer. Much appreciated! A separate note of thanks to Evan, who helped me with arranging the mortgage protection for the house. I would highly recommend Financial Innovation Group as a one-stop place for all mortgage solutions! Fantastic and professional service!

Incredible experience with Veronica and the Financial Innovations team throughout a protracted purchase involving extensions and new applications. Could not have been more helpful.

Buying a home is the most personal thing you will ever do, in an industry which is everything BUT personal. It's daunting, scary, anxiety inducing. You are a number. You feel like it's you against the world (or the banks). There are very few friends and allies. I can't remember who recommended John and FI to me - I owe them a pint. But I owe John and his team a lot more!<br><br>Our case was not straight forward. It was fraught with challenges and complexities which dragged out over years. But John was there all through it, not just at the end of the phone (after hours, if necessary) but more importantly, in our corner.<br><br>Is it any exaggeration or a cliche to say we couldn't have done it without you! Either way it certainly feels that way. Thank you again for all your effort, your attention to detail, your constant drive that I know was above and beyond. Thank you for everything. It's a mad world out there. I hope you take a minute to reflect on how you made more than a little difference to our lives. Thanks again, and please pass on our thanks to the team<br><br>Kate and Matt

My partner and I began the expansive and often confusing process of applying for a mortgage last year. We were recommended Financial Innovations, specifically Virginia, by a family member who had a fantastic experience, and they were absolutely right.<br><br>From start to finish, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, from mortgage rates and the most competitive banks, to which options would best suit our needs depending on the property. The level of guidance and expertise provided made a complex process feel much more manageable.<br><br>Financial Innovations also have a brilliant, easy-to-use portal where you can upload all your documents, which can then be reused across multiple applications if needed, something that made a huge difference for us.<br><br>The property we purchased was older and required a more specialised mortgage for our needs. Virginia supported us every step of the way, guiding us through all the ups and downs and inevitable twists and turns (none of which were any fault of hers or the team). Thanks to her persistence and support, we successfully got everything over the line exactly as we needed.<br>Without Virginia and the wider team, there’s no doubt we wouldn’t have secured our dream home. Even arranging Mortgage Protection, which is a requirement, was seamless, thanks to Joe, who was equally knowledgeable and helpful.<br><br>I could go on, but you get the picture. A huge thank you to everyone at Financial Innovations, especially Virginia. You’d be mad not to use them for your house buying journey!

We can’t thank Marguerite enough for all her help throughout our mortgage journey. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, positive, and supportive, making what can be a stressful process so much easier.<br><br>Marguerite truly went above and beyond for us and fought every step of the way to get our mortgage approved. We always felt like she was in our corner and genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal.<br><br>We’re so grateful for her hard work and guidance and would highly recommend Marguerite and the team at Financial Innovations to anyone looking for mortgage assistance.<br><br>Conor & Lauren

We recently got the keys to our new home, and the entire process went incredibly smoothly thanks to Financial Innovations. Marguerite guided us every step of the way and was extremely helpful, always keeping us informed about what was needed and when.<br><br>Everyone we dealt with was friendly, professional and approachable, which was especially appreciated when navigating the minefield of buying a house in Ireland in 2026 !<br><br>I would highly recommend the team at Financial Innovations to anyone looking for expert support throughout the mortgage process.

To Mary, We just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you for everything you've done for us throughout this process.<br><br>From start to finish, you've been so kind, patient and understanding, and it genuinely made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much more manageable. Your efficiency, clear advice, responsiveness and reassurance meant so much to us and we always felt we were in the best of hands.<br><br>We really appreciate the time, care and effort you put in to helping us get to this point. Nothing was ever too much trouble and your support made a big difference to our experience.<br><br>Thank you again for all your hard work and for being such a pleasure to work with. We won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know.<br><br>Please pass on our gratitude to the team and in particular Yasmin and Joe.

From our first meeting with Marguerite we were immediately put at ease as her knowledge and expertise was evident. She was outstanding throughout the process, so efficient and responsive. We couldn't have asked for more from her and John. It was so reassuring to know they were managing this very challenging process for us. We always felt in safe hands and that they really cared about us and our house buying journey. We have been recommending them to all our friends and family, outstanding service.

I have been recommending to everyone I know who’s looking for a broker about Fini. John, Linda, Laura, Joe, and everyone at Fini have been incredibly helpful in helping us purchasing our first home. Banks are known to be very strict, but everyone at Fini has helped me so much with their eagerness, professionalism, prompt responses. They constantly push banks to move quicker, and they have made this process much easier for me, guiding through every step along the way. I’m very very grateful for their service.
