Are You and Your Family Protected?

Are You and Your Family Protected?

No-one wants to think about what will happen when a loved one dies. Everything changes and the last thing you should have to worry about is adding a financial strain to your family. If you have children or any form of debt, it is essential that you have protection in place in case the worst should happen.
 There are a range of protection products available to give you peace of mind that your loved ones will be provided for should you die. There are many different ways to arrange life cover and we can guide you through the options and find the right product for you. Life assurance can ensure that in the event of death your mortgage could be repaid and the costs are not passed on to your family.

It is surprising to learn that little over 30% of households have some form of life assurance in place. This represents just under half of the population who do have household or motor insurance. An increasing number of people are now attracted to cheap comparison sites to find the lowest premium. They can often find that these "off-the-shelf" products do not offer the full protection their family requires after their death and ultimately could leave their family under unnecessary financial pressure.

There a number of life protection products available to suit anyone, all with different benefits that could ease the pressure and offer support if the worst happens. We take the time to ensure we find the best cover for you. We undertake a full review to ensure that you are not only fully covered but also that you are fully covered for the best possible price!

*Please note that you should never cancel an existing policy prior to taking out a new one without fully investigating the generic and individual elements that are covered.

All is not how it seems

Life it seems revolves around money. When we walk around town or browse our local shopping centre we are engulfed by enticing offers aimed at the money in our pocket. Whilst no one can deny it is a great feeling when you pick up a bargain, what do we lose sight of whilst searching for one?

The internet has undoubtedly transformed the way we approach shopping, making browsing for those bargains more convenient but it can also produce a false sense of security. Nowhere is this more apparent than aggregator sites. Seemingly giving you the opportunity to compare the best deals, it is what you aren’t able to compare that should be considered.

The saying, ‘if something seems too good to be true it normally is’, is worth considering in this instance. The use of clever marketing and attractive advertising portrays that everyone is an expert, having the required expertise to buy their own home and protection products.  However in many instances this isn’t the case with sites not even providing the information necessary to make an informed choice.

Buying cheap unfortunately does not always mean buying wisely. Cheap can come at a price, a price that normally needs paying at the least convenient of times. It is not uncommon for policies sold through these sites to strip out key areas of cover and include higher excesses payments.

Think before renewing your home insurance and protection products. It shouldn’t be a case of one size fits all; it should be a case of protecting your needs.
