Let Us help you arrange your Life Insurance

Caz Blake-Symes • October 19, 2023

Bristol Mortgages Online, Weston Mortgages Online, Bath Mortgages Online and Exeter Mortgages Online are all independent, whole of market, mortgage brokers that focus on finding a great deal and the best mortgage for you and your personal circumstances.

As an Independent Mortgage Broker, we are not only mortgage specialists, but we can also access the whole market for your insurance protection needs too.

 

Many banks and building societies and estate agents are “tied” to one insurer, and therefore cannot compete with an independent specialist like us on cost or benefits as they only offer one product. This is a complex area and, in our view, is sometimes a more important decision than the mortgage. Whereas a mortgage deal may only last two or three years, the right protection could last the whole term!

 

We therefore always have a free face to face consultation with you and one of our experienced advisers to discuss your individual requirements to help us with our personal recommendations.

We have listed below a brief description of some of the many types of protection currently available, which may help narrow down your choices. Please feel free to call us and we will arrange an appointment with you at home, in your office, at one of our offices or via Zoom.

 

Life Cover

What is life insurance?

Life insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to help cover your loved ones’ financial needs after your death. Most life insurance policies will pay out a lump sum of money if you die within the specified time period. This means that, regardless of your own financial situation, you can leave your family the money they need to use.

 

How does life insurance work?

Life insurance can help you protect your family after you’re gone, which means that policies pay out after you die. This money will usually be paid to the deceased’s estate and then managed through probate, unless the policy is written into trust with a named beneficiary in which case a lump sum would be paid out.

 

Types of life cover policies

Please note that we can quote you for life insurance, critical illness cover or a combination of both types of protection, to suit your specific requirements.

Decreasing term assurance

This product provides a lump sum on death. Cover decreases each year, in line with the balance of a repayment (capital & Interest) mortgage.

Level Term Assurance

As above, but cover remains level throughout the term.

Family income benefit plan

For this type of policy, after the death of the policyholder, the family/beneficiaries receive a monthly/annual payout over an agreed period of time, rather than a lump sum at the point of death.

Whole of Life cover

This type of policy covers the policyholder until their death, rather than during a fixed term. These policies will often have premium reviews built into the policy at prespecified times.


Our experts at Bristol, Weston, Bath and Exeter Mortgages Online, as fully independent mortgage brokers, will investigate the whole of the market on your behalf and discuss the best options to meet your specific goals and circumstances.
