- In this instance, an Insurer maybe likely to increase your premiums to cover their higher risk
- Our ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ Providers list did not offer a poorer health comparison check
- As they only used 1 Provider, you would be unable to compare if their deal is even fair
- Our brokers may kindly contact various Underwriters to check around Competitive rates
- We maybe able to get standard rates, whereas your Free Gift Life Insurer may not do so
CONCLUSION: Our Brokers compare Insurers deals if you have health concerns
5] Free Critical Illness Insurance Upgrade
- Many ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ deals also just offered their basic 3 Critical Illness plan option
- These 3 Critical Illness plans may just cover certain types of cancer, heart disease & stroke
- Child cover is also not included as free part of some of these deals, unlike other broker quotes
- Some ‘Free Gift’ providers have also limited the total amount of critical illness cover allowable
- This limit could be age dependant, or just based on a low percentage % of main life cover amount
- Using brokers you could access a wider marketplace, higher cover levels without plan restrictions
CONCLUSION: Broker Critical Illness Deals may cover 50+ benefits ( not just 3 )
6] Free Waiver of Premium Benefit access
- Our ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ Providers check all did not offer access to waiver benefit option
- Waiver benefit means premiums are paid due to a longer term illness or accident
- Premiums could be ‘waived’ after 4/8/13/26 weeks until return to work or plan end
- It makes sense to have waiver if you have low savings, no sickpay or income PHI
- Should you have to stop your cover, you may find it hard to get an affordable deal again
CONCLUSION: Premium Waiver ensures your cover is not at risk upon ill health
7] Free Access to Higher Age at entry limits
- Our ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ Providers we checked all did not allow higher age limits
- You were often restricted to a maximum age entry & this could be as low as age 59
- You may feel your only choice then is best over 50's life cover
- As brokers we may offer access to alternative Providers who go upto age 85 currently
CONCLUSION: Don’t feel you have been declined life insurance cover due to age
8] Free Vaping Smoker Life Insurance checks
- The ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ Providers we checked all did not offer this vaping deal
- This means the Insurers will still class you on more expensive smoker rates if you vape
- As brokers we may possibly offer alternative Providers who charge lower vaping costs
- These usually apply if you have given up all nicotine products for 1 year before vaping
- Terms & Conditions will apply as always
CONCLUSION: Contact us for deals that may offer you cheaper Vaping only rates
9] Free Best Advice Insurance Policy reviews
- The ‘Free Gift Life Insurance’ Providers we checked all did not offer broker support
- What happens if you already have life insurance that you are thinking of stopping ?
- Since then your situation has changed eg; you have a new partner or got married
- You are now thinking of having a joint policy instead to replace a single life insurance
- Or you have an existing critical illness lifecover & this newer deal seems cheaper
- By dealing with a broker you can discuss over your best options moving forwards
CONCLUSION: Please freely access our Professional Advice when arranging your Life Insurance
10] Free Access to Range of Life Insurers
- Don’t restrict yourself to 1 Insurer, a limited product range & higher costs all just for a ‘free gift’
- Independant Brokers can help you source a competitive deal especially if you have any health concerns
- By dealing with a broker you can discuss over your best options moving forwards
- Note: We get paid a commission advice fee for only arranging a policy once setup via the Insurers
