Critical Illness Cover

Shoreline Mortgages

Critical Illness Cover is an insurance which pays out a lump sum (tax free) if you are diagnosed with a serious medical condition.

This type of insurance is normally sold as an add-on to your Life Insurance but if you prefer you can get critical illness cover as a standalone policy.

The aim of critical illness cover is to ensure your recovery from any serious illness is as stress free as possible.

Lets Get Started

Do I Need Critical Illness Cover?

Critical illness cover provides you with financial support should you become seriously ill. If you do not have any significant savings to fall back on this could be very helpful at what would already be a very stressful time for you and your family.

If you have other people that depend on your income or regular payments such as a mortgage it might be worth discussing critical illness cover.

The tax free lump sum you receive can be spent on whatever you want, such as:

  • Household bills
  • Rent or mortgage payments
  • Lost earnings
  • Home adaptations
  • Lost earnings
  • Private healthcare

How Much Cover Do I Need?

To understand how much critical illness cover you would need you need to consider the level of financial support you and your dependants would require if you were no longer able to earn an income.

You then need to balance this against the following:

  • Your monthly earnings
  • Your monthly outgoings on bills
  • Your current debts such as loans or mortgages

  • Optional Conditions - These will depend on the insurer and include Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, loss of limbs, organ failures, traumatic head injuries and Parkinson's.
  • Not Covered - These are normally not included in the poilcy and include any pre-existing conditions, hereditary illnesses and temporary illnesses.

  • James made sure that he went above and beyond to provide us with the reassurance and advice we needed. James’ communication skills were very good, and he remained available at all times to answer any queries we may have had.

    James’ friendly and professional manner and his valuable knowledge on the current market made us feel comfortable and assured that we were in the best hands for our purchase.

    Mr & Mrs A, Bournemouth

  • I have a great many very loyal clients for whom I’ve acted repeatedly over the years and would not recommend someone to them unless I was totally happy that my client would be looked after in the best possible professional manner.

    I have always felt very happy recommending James to them.
