LIFE INSURANCE

Life Insurance policies provide your loved ones with a cash payout if you are no longer around or unable to work due to accident or illness. There are various types of life insurance policies available, and the cost of each will depend on your individual circumstances. The payout can be used by your loved ones for any purpose and making a claim is a simple process.

    What’s the plan?

    Frequently asked questions.

    If I already have life insurance, can I still save money?

    If you purchased coverage several years ago, it’s likely you will find the same level of coverage now offered at a reduced cost. However, this may require switching to a new insurer. We promise to recommend the right policy for you.

    Am I able to structure a life insurance policy to make continuous monthly payments instead of a lump sum?

    Yes, and this is typically done by purchasing a Family Income Benefit policy. This coverage makes a monthly payment to beneficiaries, designed to replace the wages of the deceased (or possibly, critically ill). A Family Income Benefit policy usually costs less than a policy that pays a lump sum, mainly because the insurance company does not fund the entire benefit at one time.

    What is 'Decreasing Term life insurance' and when is it appropriate?

    With a Decreasing Term life policy, coverage declines over time. A person who wants life insurance coverage that protects mortgage payments, typically selects a decreasing term policy because the amount owed to the building society or bank decreases each month throughout the policy term.

    How much life insurance do I need?

    It all depends on your personal circumstances as the amount of cover, also known as the ‘sum insured’, can be different for each family. For example, if you’re married and have a large mortgage and four children, in this case you are possibly going to need more cover than a single parent living in a two-bedroom flat with one child. Most of the time, the recommended level of life insurance is 10 times your annual salary or income. However, you should contact a qualified advisor to discuss your individual circumstances.

    How much does life insurance cost?

    Your premium will vary depending on the type of policy, the size of the sum insured and also the risk of a claim – if you have a dangerous job for example. Also, age is a factor, life insurance will be more expensive for an older person. Similarly, if a customer is in poor health, they can expect to pay a higher premium. The insurer will take into account occupation, hobbies, lifestyle – such as whether you smoke, your weight and your fitness – to help determine their premiums. Even postcodes are checked, as certain areas of the country are more likely to claim than others.

    Will my family have to pay tax on my life insurance?

    Proceeds from a life insurance claim are free from income and capital gains tax, but they are counted as part of your estate and are therefore liable for inheritance tax (IHT). It is easy to sidestep IHT by writing the policy in trust, so it is not taken as part of your estate when you pass away. As part of our service, we can do this free of charge.

    Important information

    Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

    We will charge a fee of between £295 and £795 for arranging a mortgage. The fee charged is payable on production of a satisfactory offer letter from a lender. The amount we charge is dependent on the amount of research and administration that is required.
