Try a comparison site like Go Compare. It should throw up the top insurers such as L&G, NU, Scottish Provident, AXA and Scottish Equitable (among others). From experience, all these providers have good administration backgrounds (apart from the odd blip)and decent claims histories.


Remember the premium quoted is the minimum you will pay. The final premium will depend upon underwriting.

The terms 'Life cover & term assurance' are used interchangeably. I think what Clare C means is 'Whole of Life' cover which is more expensive as is guaranteed to pay out on death and is often used for things like IHT mitigation.


I'm assuming you are after straight life cover (or term assurance), which is usually written to retirement age.

I went with Money World - you use their search tool (free) then pay them ?30 for them to make the application to whoever you choose. The ?30 is the total of their one off commission so the rates you get are much better than you'd ever get through a traditional broker / IFA / comparison site. There's no advice though, but life assurance is simple, read the content in the link above and it'll give you a solid basis for making a decision on what you need.


One thing - and it applies to all life assurance policies however bought - get it 'written in trust' (speak to your solicitor) to make claiming the money a short and painless exercise for those left behind when you bite the dust.


Also - life "assurance" is guaranteed to pay out (unless you've discovered the secret to immortality) which is why it's assurance not insurance and why it's so much more expensive than something that just pays off the mortgage if you croak before the final payment.



Disclaimer: I aim to please but satisfaction is not guaranteed and I'm no expert on anything whatsoever and everything I say must be taken with a good pinch of salt.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
