We understand that quite often you may not know where to start when it comes to understanding what you need to insure. A quick google search will show that there are many different insurers out there offering the same types of policies but for a range of different costs. Why is this?
Our protection experts can assist you by looking across all insurance providers to make an assessment based on the conditions they cover, the claims pay out history, whether there are any added benefits to the cover, and can generally provide peace of mind that you are getting the very best policy for your circumstances and budget. This ensures you, your mortgage and your family are well protected in the event of serious ill health or of you passing away.
If you have any pre-existing health conditions or a family history of illness you may have concerns around your eligibility for cover. We can assist with this as we have the ability to speak directly to the underwriters at the insurers to understand the terms that may be offered to you. This helps to ensure that we are in the best position possible with a higher likelihood of getting it right first time round for you.
