Taking on a mortgage is a big commitment. Protection is how you make sure that if something goes wrong, your home and the people who depend on you are looked after.
It does not have to be expensive or complicated. We will help you understand what cover actually matters for your situation, cut out what you do not need, and find a policy that fits your budget. Like our mortgage advice, it is all done in plain English with no pressure.
Why protection matters
Most of us insure our car and our phone, yet leave the biggest things unprotected: our income, our health, and the roof over our heads. If you could not work for six months, would the mortgage still get paid? Protection answers that question before it becomes a crisis, and it usually costs less than people expect.
Life Insurance
Pays out a lump sum if you die during the policy term, so your family can clear the mortgage or cover their outgoings. We will help you choose the right type and amount, and make sure it is set up properly. Life insurance in Preston.
Critical Illness Cover
Pays out if you are diagnosed with a serious illness covered by the policy, such as certain cancers, a heart attack or a stroke. It gives you money to focus on recovery instead of bills. Often taken alongside life insurance. Critical illness cover.
Income Protection
Replaces part of your income if you cannot work due to illness or injury, usually until you recover or retire. For many people this is the most important cover of all, because your income pays for everything else. Income protection.
Buildings and Contents Insurance
Lenders require buildings insurance before completion, and contents cover protects everything inside. We will help you get suitable cover without paying for extras you do not need. Buildings and contents insurance.

Common protection questions
Do I really need protection if I am young and healthy?
Cover is usually cheaper the younger and healthier you are, so it is often the best time to sort it. It is about protecting against the unexpected, not what you expect.
Is this not just an add-on the bank sells me?
No. We look across a range of insurers to find cover that suits you, rather than pushing a single provider product. Our job is the right fit, not the easiest sale.
Can I combine different types of cover?
Yes, and it often works out more cost-effective. Life insurance and critical illness cover, for example, are frequently taken together. We will show you sensible combinations.
Will it cost a lot?
It usually costs less than people think, and we can shape the cover around your budget. We will always be upfront about the cost before you commit.
Can you sort this alongside my mortgage?
Yes. Handling your mortgage and protection together keeps everything in one place and makes sure nothing gets missed.
