Frequently asked questions about Donoghue Financial
How do I contact Donoghue Financial?
Donoghue Financial operates primarily online, serving clients across Dublin without a walk-in office. You can reach them by phone on +353 1 280 3000, by email at info@donoghuefinancial.ie, or through their website at https://www.donoghuefinancial.ie. Most online brokers offer video-call consultations in place of a physical meeting — it is typically free and without obligation.
What areas does Donoghue Financial serve?
Donoghue Financial is based in South County Dublin, Co. Dublin, and regularly advises clients across South County Dublin and the wider A96 area. Most Dublin mortgage brokers are happy to work with clients anywhere in Ireland because documents, signatures, and lender communication are largely digital — contact them directly to confirm whether they cover your location.
Does Donoghue Financial arrange buy-to-let or investment mortgages?
Yes — Donoghue Financial lists investment and buy-to-let mortgages as one of their specialisms. Buy-to-let lending in Ireland typically requires a larger deposit (often 30% or more), a lower maximum loan-to-value, and stress-tested rental income. A specialist broker will know which lenders are actively writing investment business.
What should I expect at a first meeting with Donoghue Financial?
An initial meeting with Donoghue Financial is usually 45-60 minutes, free, and without obligation. Expect to discuss your income, deposit, existing debts, and timeline. Bring recent payslips, a current account statement, and a rough idea of the property price you are targeting. The broker will explain which lenders on their panel are the best match and what documents you will need to progress to Approval in Principle.
Does Donoghue Financial charge a fee?
Most Dublin mortgage brokers, including those listed on Dublish, are paid a commission by the lender once your mortgage completes, so there is typically no direct cost to the borrower. Some brokers charge an additional advice or arrangement fee for complex cases (for example, self-employed, non-standard income, or multiple properties). Always ask Donoghue Financial to confirm their fee structure in writing before you engage them — this is a requirement under Central Bank of Ireland consumer protection rules.
Where do the ratings for Donoghue Financial come from?
The rating shown for Donoghue Financial — 4.7 from 40 reviews — is aggregated from third-party review platforms, not collected by Dublish. These are third-party reviews submitted by the broker's own clients on public platforms. Dublish surfaces this data to help you compare brokers; we do not verify individual reviews or moderate their content. We recommend reading the underlying reviews on the source platform before deciding.
Is Donoghue Financial affiliated with Dublish?
No. Dublish maintains an independent directory of Dublin mortgage brokers and is not affiliated with Donoghue Financial. We do not take payment for placement and brokers cannot pay to appear higher in our listings.
