About life insurance
Advice from our life insurance experts
It’s so important that you fully understand the ins and outs of your life insurance policy, and our advisers will get you up to speed to ensure the policy meets your requirements before before taking out a policy.
Mortgage protection cover
Mortgage protection cover can maintain your mortgage payments if you cannot work due to injury or illness. Knowing your biggest monthly bill is covered can help ease the financial pressure and stress of illness.
Serious illness cover
Unlike typical critical illness cover, we also advise on cover that pays out for less serious conditions. If you need to claim from your insurance policy, you’ll receive a percentage of the cover depending on the severity of your medical problem. If the condition is caught early, you’ll receive a portion of the cover to help with stress, but the rest of the cover will still be there should you need to claim again.
