Advice provided by Ben Gibson, Protection Advisor at The Right Broker.

Life Insurance

Life insurance provides a tax-free lump sum to your loved ones if you pass away during the policy term. It can offer vital financial security at a difficult time, helping your family:

  • Clear the mortgage or other outstanding debts
  • Maintain their standard of living
  • Cover funeral and final expenses
  • Support children's education or future plans

Important: Cover is subject to underwriting and policy terms. Premiums may increase over time. Claims are paid only if you pass away during the policy term.

Income Protection

Income protection replaces a portion of your income if you're unable to work due to illness or injury. It's designed to keep your essential finances on track while you focus on recovery, offering:

  • Regular monthly payments while you're signed off work
  • Cover for both physical and mental health conditions
  • A stable income until you can return to work or reach the policy end date
  • Tax-free benefits in most cases

Important: Cover is subject to underwriting and policy terms. Benefits are paid only while unable to work due to illness or injury as defined in your policy. A deferred period applies before payments begin.

Critical Illness Cover

Critical illness cover pays a tax-free lump sum if you're diagnosed with a serious medical condition listed in your policy, such as:

  • Cancer, heart attack or stroke
  • Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis
  • Major organ failure or transplant
  • A wide range of other life-changing conditions

This payment can help with treatment costs, lifestyle adjustments, lost income, or simply give you breathing space during a challenging time.

Important: Cover is subject to underwriting and policy terms. Claims are paid only for conditions listed in your policy that meet the specified definitions. Pre-existing conditions may not be covered.

Mortgage & Family Cover

Tailored options for family and home protection

Mortgage & Family Cover is designed to help safeguard your loved ones and your home if the unexpected happens. It can provide a financial payout should you pass away or be diagnosed with a qualifying serious illness during the policy term.

This cover can support your family by helping:

  • Repay or reduce your mortgage
  • Replace lost income
  • Cover everyday living costs
  • Maintain financial stability at a difficult time

Plans can be personalised to suit your needs, with options such as level cover, decreasing mortgage protection, or family income benefit.

Important: Cover is subject to underwriting and policy terms. Claims are paid only in line with the conditions defined in your policy. Pre-existing medical conditions may not be covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Costs vary depending on age, health, smoking status and the level of cover chosen. Many policies start from just a few pounds per month. Whole-of-market comparisons help identify options that suit individual needs and budget.

Medical history is considered, but it does not automatically prevent cover being obtained. Different insurers assess conditions differently, and suitable providers can be identified based on individual circumstances.

Consultations are completely free and come with no obligation. If a policy is taken out, payment is received from the insurer, so there is no direct charge for advice or support.

Most applications are completed within a few weeks, depending on the insurer and whether any medical evidence is needed. Guidance is provided through each step to keep the process moving smoothly.
