Life insurance is a policy which pays out a tax free lump sum to your beneficiaries when you pass.
The policy is designed to provide peace of mind. Your loved ones won’t struggle financially in the event of your death and can use the pay out for paying off your mortgage.
We provide several different types of policies, and the right one for you will depend on your individual circumstances.
Level term assurance
The amount of cover you have remains the same during the term of the policy. This type of cover is often taken out alongside interest-only mortgages, as the capital you owe does not decrease over time.
Decreasing term assurance
The amount of cover you have reduces over time. Decreasing policies are often taken out at the same time as a repayment mortgage, meaning the amount of cover you have decreases along with the capital you owe.
Whole-of-life insurance
This protects you for your lifetime, however it does mean you’ll pay premiums up until the point you pass, with costs being increased because you’re guaranteed a pay-out
