FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Can’t see your question? Marc will reply personally — no call centres, no chatbots.

Do I really need protection if I’m young and healthy?+

Cover is cheapest when you’re young and healthy — and a mortgage is a long commitment. Locking in low premiums now protects you against future health changes that could make cover unaffordable later.

Isn’t my employer’s death-in-service enough?+

Death-in-service typically pays 2–4 times salary and only while you’re employed there. It usually doesn’t cover critical illness or long-term income loss, and disappears the day you change jobs. It’s a useful starting point, not a complete plan.

Should I buy protection from my mortgage lender?+

Lenders only offer their own policies. A broker compares the whole market — often finding better cover at a lower premium, with stronger definitions and more inclusive terms.

What happens if my health has changed since taking out cover?+

Existing policies are usually unaffected — once you’re accepted, your premium and terms are fixed. That’s why locking cover in early matters.

Are payouts taxed?+

Life and critical illness lump sums are tax-free. Income protection payments are also tax-free if you pay the premiums personally. Company-paid policies have different tax treatment, which Marc will explain.

Can I cancel if my circumstances change?+

Yes — protection policies have no minimum term. You can cancel or amend cover at any time, though it’s usually better to review and adjust rather than cancel outright.
