Independent Life Insurance Broker

Family is important; that’s why it’s best to get expert advice to help protect what matters, when it matters!

What is life cover?

The most well-known type of insurance. This will pay out either a lump sum or a regular income should you pass away, to provide financial support to your dependants.

The cheapest form of cover is known as a ‘term assurance’ policy. You choose how long you want cover to last for, which could be until your children are no longer financially dependent on you, or you could align it with your mortgage term to ensure your mortgage is paid off.

The other main type is known as ‘whole of life’. This policy has no specified end date – it simply provides cover until you pass away so is useful to cover funeral costs for example.

Your adviser will be able to help you choose the most suitable option for you and your family.

Is life cover for me?

You should consider life cover if:

  • You have a partner or dependants and want to ensure they are financially secure should you pass away.

  • You want to ensure the mortgage is paid off should you die before the end of the mortgage term.

  • You want to ensure your partner or dependants’ rent can still be paid should you pass away.

Additional benefits

Protection policies now typically offer many added features and benefits to increase the level of cover offered. Some of these are contractual and boost the coverage offered, others are offered in addition to the core product and can be used irrespective of whether there is a claim made. They can include things like:

  • Health MOTs
  • Access to remote GPs 24/7
  • Retail discounts
  • Gym and fitness device discounts
  • Physiotherapy
  • Counselling and bereavement support
  • Legal helplines
  • Second medical opinion services

Coming to a decision

We understand that making a decision on what cover you should take to protect yourself and your family is important, and that’s why we encourage you to take your time and to ask your adviser as many questions as you like. Apart from buildings insurance, no other insurance policy is compulsory to take alongside your mortgage. Our advisers will only recommend the cover they feel is appropriate for you and your family. They will also make sure that any policies you choose to take are affordable and so will need you to confirm a budget you are comfortable paying.

Make an application

Once you have decided on the cover you wish to take, your adviser will compare all the relevant products available to you and will recommend the package which is most suitable and fits within your budget. They will provide you with a written illustration confirming all the key facts about the recommended product(s) and will carefully talk this through with you. If you then confirm you would like us to apply for the cover on your behalf, your adviser will arrange a mutually convenient time to do this with you.
