Critical illness cover
Critical Illness Cover (CIC) will pay out a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the specified critical illnesses. This can either be for the full mortgage amount or less if this is more appropriate. You do not necessarily have to stop working for a valid claim to be made. Most CIC insurers cover over 25 illnesses, typically including heart attack, stroke, cancer, kidney failure, major organ transplant and multiple sclerosis.
Guaranteed or Reviewable Premiums:
If you prefer your Life Insurance premiums to remain the same throughout the policy term, you require a quote with "Guaranteed" premiums. By selecting "Reviewable" premiums the initial premium will be less but the cost of your policy will increase each year.
