Insurance & Protection FAQ

Why do I need mortgage protection insurance?

Protection insurance ensures mortgage payments continue if you can’t work due to illness, injury, or unemployment, preventing potential home repossession and financial hardship.

What types of protection insurance are available?

Options include life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, and mortgage payment protection insurance. We’ll recommend appropriate cover based on your circumstances.

Can I get insurance with pre-existing medical conditions?

Often yes, though terms and premiums may be affected. We work with insurers offering specialist underwriting for various medical conditions and health histories.

What's the difference between decreasing and level term insurance?

Decreasing term insurance premiums reduce over time, ideal for mortgage protection. Level term maintains constant coverage, better for family income protection needs.

How much life insurance do I need?

Consider outstanding debts, family expenses, children’s education costs, and future income needs. A common rule is 10-12 times annual income, though individual needs vary significantly.

What's the difference between term and whole of life insurance?

Term insurance covers specific periods (10-40 years) with lower premiums. Whole of life provides permanent cover with higher costs but guaranteed payouts whenever death occurs.

Can I get joint life insurance with my partner?

Yes, joint policies cover two lives and typically pay out on first death. They’re often cheaper than separate policies but consider whether both lives need individual coverage.

Will Your Financial Assurance be my best option?
