  1. Life Insurance

    This provides a one-off tax-free lump-sum payment in the event of your death.
    More

    Life Insurance protects families from financial hardship by paying out a one-off tax-free lump-sum if the policyholder dies during the term of the policy. The money can be used to pay off mortgages and other outstanding debts as well as providing a source of income for everyday living.

    Premiums are paid monthly and the cover is set for a fixed period of time, often for the length of a mortgage or up to the age of retirement. The amount of life insurance cover varies according to how much you can afford and how much cover you think you need to pay off debts and provide day to day income.

    The cost of the insurance is affected by various factors including the sum to be insured, existing health conditions, lifestyle issues like smoking and high BMI, age, occupation and any regular dangerous pursuits.

    Insurers historically pay 99% of all life insurance claims - when they don’t pay out, it is usually because the policyholder was not truthful on their initial application about an existing health condition or a regular dangerous pursuit which led to their death.

  2. Combined Life & Critical Illness Cover

    This provides a one-off tax-free lump-sum payment in the event of your death or a serious illness like cancer or permanent disability caused by injury.
    More

    Life Insurance and Critical Illness Cover protects families from financial hardship by paying out a one-off tax-free lump-sum if the policyholder dies during the term of the policy, or if they suffer a serious illness like cancer or a stroke, or a permanent disability caused by injury. The money can be used to pay off mortgages and other outstanding debts as well as providing a source of income for everyday living.

    Premiums are paid monthly and the cover is set for a fixed period of time, often for the length of a mortgage or up to the age of retirement. The amount of life and critical illness cover varies according to how much you can afford and how much cover you think you need to pay off debts and provide day to day income.

    The cost of the insurance is affected by various factors including the sum to be insured, existing health conditions, lifestyle issues like smoking and high BMI, age, occupation and any regular dangerous pursuits.

    Most advisers would recommend taking out separate Life Insurance and Critical Illness Policies as you can only make one claim per policy, and if you suffer a serious illness it will be more difficult and more expensive to apply for a new life insurance policy.

  3. Over 50s Life Insurance

    This offers guaranteed acceptance with no medical examination for people over 50, but is limited to £25,000 of cover.
    More

    Over 50s Life Insurance is a specialist life insurance policy that offers a guaranteed acceptance with no requirement for a medical but it is often limited to £25,000 worth of cover. As such it is attractive to people with existing health conditions who cannot get approval for a standard life insurance policy.

    The limited amount of Over 50s Life Cover means it is often used for planning funeral expenses or smaller debts rather than a mortgage.

    Premiums are paid monthly and the cover will cease if the premiums are stopped. Insurers will also often only pay back the premiums paid instead of the sum insured if the policyholder dies within two years of taking out the policy.

  4. Critical Illness Cover Only

    This provides a one-off tax-free lump-sum payment to cover all or part of your remaining mortgage balance in the event of a serious illness like cancer or permanent disability caused by injury.
    More

    Critical Illness Cover protects families from financial hardship by paying out a one-off lump-sum if the policyholder suffers a serious illness like cancer or a stroke, or a permanent disability caused by injury during the term of the policy. The money can be used to pay for medical treatment or rehabilitation or pay off mortgages and other outstanding debts as well as providing a source of income for everyday living.

    Premiums are paid monthly and the cover is set for a fixed period of time, often for the length of a mortgage or up to the age of retirement. The amount of Critical Illness Cover varies according to how much you can afford and how much cover you think you need to pay off debts and provide day to day income.

    The cost of the insurance is affected by various factors including the sum to be insured, existing health conditions, lifestyle issues like smoking and high BMI, age, occupation and any regular dangerous pursuits.

    UK Insurers offer an increasing list of specific illnesses which they will cover beyond the most common like cancer, heart disease and strokes, but each insurer has their own list, and therefore if there is a history of a certain illness in the family, some insurers may provide better cover than others.

  5. Income Protection Insurance

    This provides monthly tax-free payments in the event that you cannot work due to long-term sickness or disability.
    More

    Income Protection Insurance pays out a sum of money every month in the event that you are unable to work due to sickness or injury. The money can be used to cover your regular expenditure like mortgage payments, household bills and other living expenses.

    Premiums are paid monthly and the cover is set to pay-out for a period of time, either short term (1-5 years) or up to the age of retirement. The amount that the income protection policy will pay out every month is typically limited to 65% of your monthly salary or income.

    The Premiums are affected by various factors including the monthly sum insured, salary, existing health conditions, lifestyle issues like smoking and high BMI, age, occupation and any regular dangerous pursuits.

    A good way to reduce the cost of the premiums is to defer when the policy pays out after a claim is registered. It is worth considering whether your employer offers any sickness benefits or whether you have any savings to extend the deferment period.

Five Stars (4.9)

Great communication, help and guidance.

All my questions were answered, as I know little on how life cover, critical illness and terminal insurance policies work.

I was given good independent advise, so I could confidently make my choice on what was right for me.

- Denise

Clear, friendly, efficient and prompt service.

No nonsense, no jargon, just clear and informative guidance. Very quick with results which did not disappoint. Delighted with my deal which was a third cheaper than my own bank offered me and I didn’t do any of the legwork. More than happy to recommend.

- Ms Shannon

I found the customer service representative very polite and informative and helpful.

I wished some information on life insurance for a mortgage I have applied for.

All in all the process was very useful and informative and the representative was very helpful and polite. I would recommend this online service to anyone who is looking for life cover.

- Mrs Severn

Very good professional service.

I was impressed by the quality of service by the advisor who dealt with my request. He has carefully listened to my requirements, asked a few relevant questions and has provided me with the option which suited my needs in the best possible way. I have really admired his flexible approach and fantastic customer skills.

- Mrs Cookson

Professional and no-nonsense approach.

Very thorough yet friendly service. Good contact and information one can understand.

- Heather Cronley

A professional customer centric company with the client at the heart of the transaction.

The advisor put me at the heart of the transaction, was professional, gave realistic opinions and suggestions offering me choices in clear terms which I understood.

- Andrew Hughes

Outstanding service and knowledgeable customer service rep.

I received a call as promised in my email. Marie Bedding was very knowledgeable in her subject matter, she took some basic details and was very polite and courteous in her manner.

Marie was very sensitive when discussing personal circumstances and listened carefully and showed compassion to my details. Marie then said ‘leave it with me and ill get back to you’, within 20 minutes Marie was back on the phone with the quotes as promised and gave me a selection of options to chose from.

Marie did not pressure me with the ‘Hard Sell’, I needed time to discuss the options with my partner, Marie kindly emailed me all the details and left it in my hands to contact her once I had made a decision and if I would like to go ahead with the policy.

I cannot fault this service and the professionalism I received.

- N Marsden
