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.
