Shane Doyle

Pension

I recently had dealings with Andriú Mac Lochlainn, Murray Spelman regarding pension advice.  I found him excellent to deal with and professional at all times.

He delivered what was promised.  I expect that I will be using his services again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

If anyone is looking for advice on pensions, I couldn’t speak highly enough of the advice and service I received from Andriú Mac Lochlainn in Murray & Spelman.

Helen, Co. Dublin 

Pension

I am a solicitor based in Dublin and received extensive advice from a pension planning point of view from Andriú Mac Lochlainn of Murray Spelman & Co in 2020.

Although a solicitor, I found the complexities of pension planning somewhat daunting. I found the advice from Andriú to b most comprehensible, helpful and illuminating, and the financial services furnished were excellent.

James Skehill, Co. Galway

Mortgage

Sincere thanks for all your help in getting us our mortgage to build our dream home. We have moved in now and we are delighted with the way it all worked out. The phone call I made to you was the best thing I did and from there on, you made the whole process seem so easy. I know that if I was dealing with the bank myself that things wouldn’t have worked out as good. Great service and highly recommended.

Trish, Co. Galway

Mortgages

I am singing your praises Dervail. As a first-time buyer I really had no idea what the process of buying my first home involved. You were so patient and great at explaining everything to me. You always kept me in the loop throughout the process. Another positive was that Murray & Spelman could also provide guidance on my Life cover and Contents Insurance, this made things so much easier and less stressful. I wouldn’t know where to start looking. I can’t thank you enough, I am forever indebted for your help.

I hope all is well with you. Just dropping a quick mail to say a big thank you for all that you did for us. I know that it wasn’t the most normal house sale and things got a bit messy, especially towards the end. I thought you went above and beyond in what you needed to do so we’re extremely grateful. I know we wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for your help. 

Thanks again for all of your help

Hannah O’Connor

Mortgage

As a first time buyer, I was very nervous and feeling a little overwhelmed as to how to even go about looking at getting a mortgage never mind the whole process behind it. Dealing with Brian in Murray Spelman was an absolute dream. He made the process simple as it could possibly be and he was incredibly swift in getting things done. Whether it was a question I had about a form or a query from my solicitor, Brian was always at hand to explain things to me and help – taking all stress out of the whole process.

Brian explained the whole process to me in a very simple and concise manner and got me the best deal possible. I definitely would not have been able to do it without his help and guidance. I would highly recommend working with Brian if you’re thinking about or looking at getting a mortgage. Thanks Brian.

Tom & Aisling

Mortgage

Working with Diane at Murray Spelman was brilliant. She took the stress completely out of our mortgage application and her confidence put us both at ease straightaway. Each step of the mortgage application was excellently explained to us, so we had a greater understanding of the process. She was prompt answering any questions and forwarding any documents to us. If we had to go through the mortgage application again, Diane would be our first call! We would highly recommend Diane and we can’t thank her enough for guiding us through the application.

I have just completed a switcher mortgage application with Michelle in your Sallins office. Michelle was excellent throughout what was a tricky application in the middle of a pandemic!!!
We switched mortgage recently with Murray & Spelman Financial services and from the minute I first walked in the door of their office to completion the service we received was excellent. Michelle was a pleasure to deal with and nothing was ever a hassle. She was very knowledgeable and was always on hand to answer our questions. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Murray & Spelman Financial Services to anyone needing financial services. Murray Spelman will be my first port of call for any more financial assistance that we may need in the future.

I’ve being in contact with Michelle for over a year and half and its being an absolute pleasure to work with her while going for our mortgage .

No question was too big or small to ask her and I looked at her like a friend. I would 100% recommended her to all my friends and family as I know she can help them in any way she can as she did with us!

Michelle went above and beyond for us in the mortgage process which was made a lot more complicated by the pandemic. She was always only a phone call or text away and honestly helped us along every step of the way.

I rated Murray & Spelman 5 stars for the service level on Google. We have recommended two of our family members to start their mortgage processes with you, I told them how good you are. Thanks again for everything.

Paul & Jade, Galway

Mortgage

As first time buyers, we were very unsure what the process entailed in getting a mortgage. Brian in Murray & Spelman simplified the process and left no stone uncovered, from exploring all the options of the mortgage to the life cover and house insurance.
He went above and beyond in ensuring everything was accounted for and in order. It was a massive help to know that if we had any questions, Brian would have been able to answer them.
Brian endeavoured to get the best possible deal for us and we are grateful for that. We would highly recommend working with Brian in any matter, not just from a mortgage perspective.
Thanks again for all your help throughout the process and all the best in the future.

Dervail was fantastic to deal with, very professional and efficient. Mortgage application process can be overwhelming for a first time buyer, but Dervail made it smooth by providing advice, answers to all questions and continuously keeping me informed on the progress.

I would highly recommend Murray & Spelman Financial Services and will certainly return if I require a financial advice in the future.
Have a lovely day.
Kind regards,

Big thank you to Dervail in Murray & Spelman. I can honestly say that without her we would not be in our new home. She went above and beyond for us.

It was a long journey and one that covid didn’t help but we got there.

Emma, Co. Kildare

Life Cover

I used Murray & Spelman to set up a Life Cover & Children Savings plan through what I needed and what options were available to me.

I raised that Life Cover wasn’t as expensive as I thought and it’s a great comfort to have my family taken care of. Hassle-free process.

Padraic Fahy 

Mortgage Advice

I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Murray & Spelman Financial Services, from first contact, and in particular Richie Murray (Financial Advisor), made the experience and assistance in obtaining our mortgage stress free and was always handled with the utmost professionalism and sound advice. We were subject to poor quality at the outset with a different broker (Financial Services Company), but once we changed to Richie Murray (Murray & Spelman), the commitment and persistent communication between both the Financial Institutions and then myself was invaluable, we were regularly informed of our situation with each of the institutions, he managed our expectations exceptionally, the paperwork and information to be submitted was without fault, he was always available for contact, every day (weekend) he replied immediately with any concerns or queries we had, his knowledge and experience in the field was excellent.

I would highly recommend Murray/Spelman Services and particular Richie Murray, they are a service I will be recommending in the future to all my friends and colleagues.

Siobhan

Mortgage

We cannot thank Dervail enough. Particularly as our mortgage process was not straightforward. We feel very lucky to have had you as a broker, guiding us every step of the way.

 

Vivienne Connolly

Income Protection

I dealt with Andriú for setting up my AVC’s and Income Protection products. As a teacher, I was not previously aware of the different options available to me and he explained everything so well. He also responded promptly to my queries and questions whether by email or phone.
He made the process effortless even with the difficulties brought about by COVID. It has given me piece of mind to have the different products set up and if I need further advice in the future, I won’t hesitate to get in touch with Andriú in Murray & Spelman again.
