Level Cover - What's in it for me?

  • Cash sum that could help support your family, pay off your mortgage and meet other financial commitments
  • Joint or Single Cover - you can set-up your policy with either a single life assured or two, joint, lives assured. For joint policies we would only pay out the sum assured once, on first death or on payment of a critical illness claim
  • Mortgage Life Insurance - fixed cover amount for your interest only mortgage to the end of your chosen term
  • Advanced cash sum - take care of life's essentials if you're diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 18 months before the cover term ends. The policy will end if the advanced cash sum is paid

Terminal Illness is an advanced or rapidly progressing incurable illness where it is considered that life expectancy will be no greater than 12 months. This differs from Critical Illness Cover.

Additional Options

Special Events Option

The policy adapts as your life changes. If you're under age 50 and in good health, this option will be included in level cover versions, but not decreasing cover versions.

It allows you, subject to certain limits, to take out extra cover without further evidence of health, family history, occupation or pastimes or your marriage, registration of a civil partnership, on birth of your child or your legal adoption of a child under 16. You can exercise this option during the cover term up to your 55th birthday. If you increase your cover your premiums will increase.

Mortgage Increase and Extension Option

Want to occasionally increase or extend your mortgage? A flexible policy can adapt to your changing needs. If you're under age 50 and in good health we'll include this option. It allows you, subject to certain limits, to take out extra cover or extend the cover term without further evidence of health, family history, occupation or pastimes if you increase your mortgage, either to move house or pay for home improvements.

You can exercise this option during the cover term up to your 55th birthday. If you increase your cover or extend the term your premiums will increase.

There are limits to the new amount of Life Insurance you can take out under these options so please read the policy terms and conditions. Your premiums may increase if you change the amount and term of your policy.

How much will it cost?

  • Your premium depends on your personal circumstances, for example, age, sex, occupation, lifestyle, personal and family medical history and whether or not you smoke or use nicotine products
  • Cost is dependent on the cover amount (the sum assured), its length, and the benefits you have chosen
  • Don't worry if you're on a budget - our calculator can work out your cover by the monthly premium you'd like to pay too!
  • You must review your cover amount and term regularly to ensure they meet your needs, especially if your personal circumstances change
