Critical Illness Insurance serves as a lump sum payout in the event of a major health crisis, such as specific types of cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It offers financial protection in the event that you are diagnosed with one of the covered illnesses outlined in the policy. It’s important to note that not all severe illnesses are included in the policy, a point that insurers often face criticism for. However, your policy will contain more detailed information on the specific illnesses covered.
The lump sum received can be used for various purposes, including paying off a mortgage, covering medical expenses, or undertaking necessary home improvements. If you are looking for critical illness insurance in York, our team of expert protection and mortgage advisors in York is ready to assist you.
When considering Protection Advice in York, it’s advisable to consult with a qualified Protection Specialist before obtaining any type of coverage. Critical Illness Cover is more likely to be claimed than Life Insurance, making it potentially more expensive. Exploring mortgage advice in York can assist you in securing the most favorable deal.
The likelihood of surviving the types of conditions covered has increased compared to 30 years ago. However, if you unfortunately fall ill with any of these conditions, it can lead to financial hardship, particularly if you have a mortgage, children, or significant credit commitments.
In some cases, a claim may be rejected because the individual did not disclose specific health conditions during the application process. It’s important to note that this doesn’t apply to conditions that the claimant was unaware of or that were not present at the time of application.
The lump sum is paid out as long as the specified condition is mentioned in the policy, regardless of whether the individual is able to return to work or not. The lump sum is entirely at the discretion of the claimant. As a reputable mortgage broker in York, we often observe individuals using the funds to settle their mortgage, cover medical expenses, or make improvements to their home.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.

Massive thank you Matt Collinson and the UKMoneyMan team. They were the first company we reached out to for mortgage advice, and the warm welcome started right at the start. We've got all the advice and help we needed, and Matt worked with what we had and gave us what we believe to be the best deal possible. He's been absolutely wonderful dealing with and I can recommend his services to anyone who's in need of a mortgage broker. I'd give more stars if I could! Thank you Matt.
