You do need to know exactly what you're looking for, other than just cheap life insurance, however, in advance of filling in our form and we'll try to help with that now. If you are looking for cheap life insurance in order to cover repayment of your mortgage if you were to die, then the type of life policy that you select is determined by the type of mortgage that you have. For any type of mortgage, you would match the expiry of your cheap life insurance policy term to the final repayment date of your mortgage. Thus you may choose to take out term cheap life insurance cover for around 20 years, for example. That term life cover will be a 'level' policy if the cost of your mortgage repayment does not diminish over time, as with an interest-only type of mortgage that is much less common nowadays. With a repayment mortgage where the cost of redemption drops over time, then a decreasing term cheap life insurance policy is a better and cheaper option. Some prefer not to restrict themselves to term life cover, favouring an open-ended arrangement where the policy continues until your demise - a so-called whole life insurance plan. The advantage of this is that your family get a guaranteed payment which can help to offset costs relating to the disposal of more sizeable estates where inheritance tax will come into play. There are better, more tax-efficient, ways to meet this cost however. This type of policy is more expensive and rarely a necessary choice. It is similar to a traditional life assurance policy and is, indeed, known as this by some European providers. As critical illness cover is different thing to a cheap life insurance policy, you cannot assume it is included and you should therefore ensure inclusion of this as well, assuming you wish it - as is logical given the reasons for taking out cheap life insurance in the first place. The cost of your premium is affected by your age and health, including smoking status. With regard to the latter, a year of successful cessation nomalises the cost of your cover. This is a somewhat generous arrangement given the longterm effects of smoking, an unusual concession from a risk-averse industry. |
