FAQs

Common questions

How much life cover do I actually need?+

A useful starting point is enough to clear any mortgage, settle outstanding debts and provide ongoing income for dependants for a defined period. Your adviser will run an affordability and needs analysis so the sum assured matches your real-world commitments rather than a guess.

What's the difference between level and decreasing term cover?+

Level term pays out a fixed lump sum at any point during the policy term. Decreasing term reduces the payout each year and is typically used to track a repayment mortgage balance, which makes premiums lower. We'll explain which structure suits your goal.

Should the policy be written in trust?+

In most cases yes. Writing a life policy in trust usually keeps the payout outside your estate for inheritance tax purposes and helps it reach beneficiaries faster, without waiting for probate. We can arrange this at no extra cost when the policy is set up.

Will pre-existing health conditions stop me getting cover?+

Not necessarily. Many conditions are accepted on standard or rated terms, and we work with a broad panel of insurers — some specialise in non-standard health histories. We'll position your application with the insurer most likely to offer suitable terms.

How long does it take to put a policy in place?+

Straightforward applications can be on cover within days. Cases that need medical evidence or a GP report typically take 3–6 weeks. We'll set expectations upfront and keep you informed throughout.

Protect what matters most

A 20-minute conversation is usually enough to know what cover you need and what it will cost. No pressure, no jargon.
