​
​
Life Cover
You can take out an insurance policy to provide a financial safety net for your family in the unfortunate event of your death, giving you peace of mind for you and your family.
​
Life cover plans typically have no cash in value at any time & will cease at the end of the term.If premiums are not maintained then cover will lapse.
​
​
Critical Illness
No one knows what is around the corner, if you become critically ill and have to take a period of time off work, you will need to make some financial adjustments. Critical illness cover pays you a lump sum if you are diagnosed with specified illnesses, to give you the breathing space you need to get you though.
​
Plans may not cover all the definitions of a critical illness. The definitions vary between product providers and will be described in the key features and policy documents if you go ahead with the plan.
​
​
Income Protection
This type of insurance used to be known as permanent health insurance or long-term disability insurance. It is designed to support you if you can’t work because you are ill or injured by replacing part of your income until you can go back to work or retire. It is different from critical illness cover in that it pays you a percentage of your gross salary or take home pay (you decide how much) rather than a lump sum.

Accident, Sickness & Unemployment Cover (ASU)
For any General Insurance advice, we are happy to refer you to our preferred provider – please contact us for more details.
​
Accident, Sickness and Unemployment Cover (ASU) is designed to cover the cost of your mortgage payments in the event that an accident, sickness or unemployment stops you from working. Most ASU policies will only pay out for a maximum of a year, so if you do have sufficient savings in place to tide your over for this length of time, then you may not require cover. Check how much your employer is likely to pay you in the event that you get made redundant. If you have worked at your company for several years, the chances are you may get a decent payout, which would mean you might be paying for the unemployment element of your mortgage protection policy unnecessarily.
​
As a general rule, mortgage protection policies will start paying out either 31 days or 60 days after you are unable to work. However, many policies are 'back to day one' plans. This means that the benefit you receive is backdated to the date you were first out of work. Monthly payments are capped, usually at £1,500 or £2,000 a month or at a percentage of your income. So if you have a very large mortgage, you will need to think about how you will cover any surplus.

Landlords Insurance is an insurance policy that protects landlords against loss or damage to their rental property. The cover usually includes protection against the same perils normal home insurance does, including cover for buildings and the landlord's contents (if any) from standard perils such as fire, lightning, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, escape of water/oil, subsidence, and theft.
​
But, unlike normal household insurance, Landlord's Insurance can also protect landlords against:
Loss of earnings and rehousing costs should an insured event occur and the tenants have to move out.
A tenant damaging the property.
Non-payment of the rent.
Your liability if an accident happens in your property and a tenant or employee is injured.
