Regulatory Status

We are approved by the Financial Regulator as an Authorised Advisor and Mortgage Intermediary

(Registration Number C36565). The actual authorisations from the regulator can be viewed below:

These statements are the technical stuff. What this means to our clients is that we are authorised to advise on all financial products, even those that we do not hold agencies for. From our clients perspective, they can be sure that they are getting the full extent of any independent advice they need. This is unlike Multi Agency Intermediary advisors that can only advise on products that they hold agencies for and, as such, are unable to give broad based advice.

We also act  in a mortgage broking capacity and through our agencies access finance for our clients irrespective of their needs.

As part of our regulatory requirements we are members of the Investor Compensation Company Limited which entitles our clients to coverage under a regulatory scheme up to an amount of €20,000 in the event we were to go out of business and cannot return your investment instrument (more commonly referred to as company shares, investment based life assurance policies or tracker bonds) or money if it should not be invested on your behalf.
