Whole of market advice and Insurance

Everyone realises that a home, an investment property or business property must be kept secure from break-ins and damage from fire or other causes. Unfortunately even though we understand the value of such deterrents, we often fail to realise the value of insurance in its various forms until it is too late.

Many properties are still under-insured or only have compulsory Buildings Insurance and many of us still think that critical illness cover, mortgage whole of market advice insurance and income whole of market advice are unnecessary luxuries. When you consider the value of properties and how accident or sickness can affect your livelihood it makes sense to invest in adequate levels of insurance whole of market advice.

During our working lives we strive to pay off debts and develop a secure future for ourselves. Illness, unemployment or an untimely death in the family does happen and can lead to serious financial problems. There is a myth that the government will look after you should you fall ill, have an accident or become unable to work. These days the rules on such matters are much tighter. For example, you can only get long term sickness benefit if you are unable to do any work - not just the job you had before you became ill. Unfortunately for employers, your ability to get a job is still very much dependent on relevant past experience. This could leave you unable to get work and unable to obtain benefit.
