This is cover that pays out on death. Some plans pay upon earlier confirmation of a terminal illness where the prognosis is death within 12 months. Proceeds can pay out as a lump sum or as annual amount for the remainder of the policy term.
Cover can last for a set term called Term Assurance, or can last throughout life, called Whole of Life.
The amount of cover can remain the same or increase/decrease annually. Level term assurance stays the same throughout. Decreasing cover is sometimes used to cover a reducing debt, such as a repayment mortgage and usually assumes a given interest rate. Provided your mortgage rates don’t exceed that rate, then the cover should reduce at around the same rate as the mortgage. The amount you pay is called the premium. It can either be guaranteed not to change, or it can be reviewable.
Reviewable cover normally changes based on the claims experience of the life assurance company.
Brilliant service from Daniel. He handled everything expertly and was professional throughout. He ensured I fully understand the terms and conditions of my mortgage. Will be using Daniel again in the future
Great service, quick to answer all queries and works hard to get the best for clients,
Dan was brilliant from start to finish! Took all the stress away from what can be a very stressful process. Would highly recommend him and I’ll be using Dan and his services again in the future.
By far the best mortgage advisor around! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for their first mortgage or about to renew. I recently renewed my mortgage and Dan saved me a fortune every month! Thanks again.
I used Daniel for remortgage of my property - answered any questions with clear expert knowledge and can only recommend him for others.
