Aviva, Royal, Scottish Widows, Legal and General, Friends Provident - it doesn't matter who your insurer is but, subject to a couple of pretty straightforward rules, if your life assurance or mortgage protection policy has been running for a few years, there are probably some substantial savings that you can make by comparing policies on the market now.
Bearing in mind the challenges we are all facing in making our incomes stretch further, this really is a great way of cutting your outgoings. By reviewing your current policy, you could get the same, or even better cover at the same time as bringing down your monthly payments.
How can life insurance premiums fall after a review? Can they really cost less as you progress through a policy term? Well, yes and there are four main reasons:
You have already survived a part of the period insured, so the risks of you passing away are reduced as there is less time for that to happen in.
Life expectancies have probably grown longer since you took out the policy and therefore statistically you are less likely to die during the period you are insured for.
Premiums are falling as it's a more competitive market than it was a few years ago so competition has driven down costs.
If your policy covers a repayment mortgage, the sum you are looking to insure is less than it was when you took out your original cover.
Yes - with this type of cover there is not a massive difference in the features offered between companies (there are some such as terminal illness benefits and that is the reason MoneyMaxim always suggest you speak to a knowledgeable professional) but basically they are policies that pay a sum of money if you die. It's also important to consider whether the policy should be written in trust. This can ensure there are no delays in paying money to dependents, and also save a potentially substantial tax bill.
We have seen some great savings for customers who have spoken to our life insurance partners and undertaken a review. The amounts do differ greatly from customer to customer though.
It only needs a few minutes to undertake a review, a totally painless process that can reap big rewards. Where it doesn't tend to, it's normally due to a customer's health having deteriorated since the original policy was taken out.
The additional advantage of using MoneyMaxim for your quotation is that you not only will be dealing with one of the leading life assurance providers who have arranged hundreds of thousands of policies for customers, but you will also be offered a case manager who will ensure the whole process is a smooth one. We have decades of experience in managing insurance and assurance cases, so know exactly when things are starting to go awry and we need to step in. Fortunately with our life insurance partner that has never happened to date!
