Protection
What is protection?
Protection does what it says on the tin, it protects you. If ever the worst should happen and you have an accident that prevents you from working, then protection keeps your finances secure and ensures you still have income every month.
We understand that no one likes to think pessimistically about the future. Taking out a mortgage to buy a property is probably the biggest financial commitment you will ever make - and it may not be just a property, it may your family home. Shying away from thinking about, discussing and addressing 'the worst that could happen should not be an option for anyone - no one ever wants to say 'if only' after a tragic event.
We will discuss your own personal views and needs in detail and then provide advice to create a bespoke solution that meets your needs. In our opinion, you should never buy 'off-the-shelf' mortgage or family protection - you need to get advice to ensure that it is the right product for you.
Our protection range:
