So how how do you compare life insurance,well I am obviously going to tell you to use our quick whole of market life insurance quote form to the right of the page.However before you request a free quote from us,please think carefully about how much life insurance you require.If it is for a mortgage,then usually you will want to cover the mortgage debt over the term of the mortgage.In this case calculate the total mortgage amount you will be borrowing,remember to add any lender fees to the mortgage amount,as you want make sure the whole mortgage debt is covered.For example Mr Smith has taken out mortgage for £200000 over 30 years with ABC Bank,however the lender charges an arrangement fee of 1% of loan amount,so Mr Smiths actual mortgage debt is £202000,after the lender arrangement fee has been added on.If you are not sure of total borrowing check your mortgage offer,as the total loan will be detailed there.

Once you know the amount of life insurance you require,simply enter the details on the form to the right and request your quote,this will allow you to compare life insurance.My advice would be to get a life quote from your lender if they have that facility and then use Life Cover Search to compare it against the whole market.

The above example shows how to work out life cover for a mortgage debt,however some people simply wish to protect their family or loved ones.If that is the case then you need to work out how much life insurance you would need if your family no longer had you around.There are various ways to do this and a simple life insurance calculator will help you work this out.I am presently working on a simple life cover calculator,which will assist you with this calculation,if you would like to to be emailed this tool,when it becomes available,please email us at admin@lifecoversearch.co.uk requesting a free copy.

In the meantime one option is to use the age of dependency rule.This works by using the youngest dependents age as starting point for the term of any life insurance.Lets look at an example to illustrate how this method works.Mr Whyte has two children aged 2 and 4,he wants to make sure if anything happens to him there is life insurance in place to protect them.Mr Whyte decides that £300000 will provide adequate cover should he die.Now you may ask where did £300000 come from? Well at the end of the day only you know how much money your family would need and this is relative to your lifestyle,income and outgoings,which is different for all families.So for the sake of this example,lets assume Mr Whyte knows what lump sum his family would need.The term of the policy is linked to when the youngest child becomes non dependant,so in this example the youngest child is 2,so Mr Whyte decides on a 16 year term life insurance,until the youngest child id 18.

The above example is a simple formula and I would suggest,the most important factor is working out the sum assured for the life cover and only you and your family know this.This will of course be ruled by cost as well,so this is why it is important to compare life insurance,before buying as the cost for life insurance from one company can vary greatly.

So in conclusion,yes compare life insurance before you buy,but make sure that you know how much insurance you require first.Life Cover Search of course will allow you to get quotes from the whole market,the quotes are free and without any obligation ever.So please use our quote form to the right to receive your free quote now.

Depending on the type of mortgage you have or intend to take,there are different options available to protect your mortgage with mortgage life insurance.There are usually two options,both are term assurance,the first is level term assurance which is normally used to protect interest only mortgages.This is because interest only mortgages remain level unless there is a capital payment made to reduce the outstanding mortgage.For example someone with a £100000 interest only mortgage,you might consider level term mortgage life insurance.However this does not mean someone with a similar mortgage,but on a Repayment mortgage might not consider level term cover,as they might decide to take this cover in order to provide some extra life insurance as the mortgage debt reduces.

The second type of mortgage life insurance is decreasing term assurance,which is normally used to protect Repayment mortgages,as the level of cover reduces in line with the mortgage amount outstanding.Decreasing term assurance is usually cheaper than level term assurance,as the cover reduces,so it is less of a risk for the insurance provider.

So the rule of thumb is level term mortgage life insurance for an interest only mortgage and decreasing term assurance for a Repayment mortgage.Although as discussed level term cover can be used in both cases,providing extra life insurance on a Repayment mortgage.

Whatever type of mortgage you have or decide to take,Life Cover Search can help you find the most competitive mortgage life insurance quote from the whole market.You can obtain a quote in minutes,using our quick quote form to the right.Complete a few simple details and get quotes from all the major UK mortgage life insurance providers.

If you are looking to cover your mortgage debt or are you simply need life insurance to protect your family, then some form of term assurance is likely to meet your requirements.

Term assurance cover as the name suggests will cover you during a set period of cover, for example somebody with a £130000 mortgage over 20 years, would normally require £130000 life insurance over a 20- year term. As you can see life insurance UK does not need to be over complicated. Another scenario might be if you need cover to protect your family over a set term, for example until your children are non dependant.A simple way to work out how much life cover you need to protect your family, is to multiply your annual net income by the term required. An example of this could be someone earning £20000 net per annum, with two dependent children, the youngest being 3, so this person might consider an 15 year term policy i.e. until the youngest child is 18 and take out cover of 15x£20000=£300000.This is a simple formula but gives you a starting point, however there are various ways to work out what cover you might need, this is just an example.

Many people in the UK struggle to get life insurance because of their health, their  high risk job or because of some hazardous hobby.

Unfortunately if you fall into any of the above categories, people find it difficult to get life cover from most high street life insurance companies. You have to understand that insurance companies underwrite all life assurance applications based on risk and if you have poor health, you are considered a bad risk, if you are in the army and on active duty your high risk and finally if your idea of a good time is rock climbing, scuba diving or swimming with sharks you are definitely high risk to an insurer.

So What Can You Do About It?

Well you can give up,but that’s not an option! As there are insurance companies that specialise in insuring those with poor health,as well as insurance companies that will consider high risk occupations and high risk pastimes.So please read on and see what is available to you.

I Have Poor Health Can I Get Life Insurance?

Well the answer to your question is there are specialist companies that deal only in life insurance for people with bad health. They will consider your application for life cover based on your medical history. They will write to your GP and may request a medical examination. Do not be worried by this as the medical is free and is normally carried out at your home or place of work. If nothing else you will get a free health check up! Please do not confuse this type of life insurance with the guaranteed life insurance you see advertised on the TV by a former chat show host, offering a free Parker pen. This type of cover does not normally pay out in the first 2 years and you might pay more in than you get back. Now I am not saying there is no need for this guaranteed life cover, but you must be aware of what is covered as well as when.A specialist insurer will consider your application and will underwrite it based on your personal circumstances.If they offer you terms,they will be clear and if you accept you will have life insurance from the start date,not  two years later.

I think in the first instance it is worthwhile trying  the high street life insurers, by that I mean the usual household insurance companies everyone has heard of and of course you can access them all here. After that try the specialist insurance company, before the guaranteed life cover companies. What do you have to lose? If you use this site Life Cover Search to request a quote for life insurance, you will be able to access all the major UK insurance companies as well a specialist advice from an Independent Financial Adviser who can guide you through your options including life companies that will consider all types of medical and health problems. Bear in mind that most life insurance companies will give you a decision on application. What I mean by this is if you apply for life insurance, the insurer will do one of three things, they will accept you at standard rates, they will accept you on special rates (higher premiums or lower sum assured) or they will decline you. These are the three outcomes, you can also use the medical data supplied by your GP and any medical reports that are still within date to apply to several insurance companies at one time, known in the industry as a multi-application. This can save time as all he insurers can use the existing data to underwrite your application.

So if you do have a health issue, or have a high risk job or hobby please do not let it put you off applying for life insurance. There are options available for most cases. If you want a free quote for life insurance, no matter your health complete the quick quote form to the right and see what is available.

It is important that you fully understand the difference between family income benefit insurance and the more well know term assurance.Firstly lets look at the difference between the two types of life insurance.Term assurance will normally pay out a lump during the term of the policy,whereas family income benefit will pay out an income equal to the remaining term of the policy.The best way to illustrate this is to give an example.Mr Smith takes out a £250000 level term assurance policy over 20 years to protect his family,as he has young children.Mr Brown on the other hand takes out family income benefit insurance  of £20000 per annum over same term of 20 years to protect his young family as well.If you need more information on types of cover have a look at our types of cover page

However whilst £20000 per year adds up to £400000 of life cover should  Mr Brown die in the first year,if he dies in year 18 the family income benefit would only pay out £40000 over the remaining 2 years of the policy.If Mr Smith died in year 1 or year 18,his dependents would get £250000 no matter when he died with in the policy term.

So you can see clearly that in reality Family income benefit insurance is a type of decreasing term assurance by another name.So why would people buy family income benefit? The answer is cost,as with any decreasing term assurance,the cost is usually less than level term assurance,which maintains level cover throughout the term of the policy.So now you should have a clear idea of the difference between family income benefit insurance and level term assurance.It really depends on your budget and your needs and there is a place for family income benefit insurance,however it is always best to compare the costs against level term life cover.
