Insurance
Sadly, a major illness can strike at any time. Figures for the UK, published by the Office for National Statistics in 2016, show more than 800 people a day receive a diagnosis of cancer. Every six minutes, someone suffers a heart attack. Homemakers work an average of 66 hours a week based on 5 working days. Protection therefore should not just be about providing cover in the event of death.
Why Use an Insurance Broker?
There are so many types of insurances available and the policy terms vary provider to provider. Pre-existing conditions, age and current health can all impact on a prospective protection plan. This is typically translated into increased premiums, policy exceptions and exclusions. We can arrange a protection plan specifically tailored to your situation taking into account your circumstances and affordability. Also, importantly, you don’t need to be a mortgage client to benefit from our service.
