Life insurance pays out a lump sum or regular income if you die during the policy term, helping your dependants stay financially secure.
What types are available?
Level term insurance: fixed cover for the full term. Decreasing term insurance: cover reduces over time, often linked to a mortgage. Family income benefit: pays a regular income instead of a lump sum.
Do I need life insurance for a mortgage?
No, it is not compulsory. But it is highly recommended to protect your family and home.
How much does life insurance cost?
Basic cover can start from £10 to £15 per month for a healthy non-smoker. Costs depend on age, health, smoking status, cover amount, and policy term. As an example, a 30-year-old non-smoker might pay £15 to £20 per month for £200,000 of cover over 25 years.
When should I take out life insurance?
The younger you are, the cheaper it is. Many people take out cover when they get a mortgage, have children, or take on significant financial commitments.
Can life insurance be linked to a mortgage?
Yes, decreasing term life insurance is commonly used with repayment mortgages, as the cover falls in line with the outstanding mortgage balance.
