Protect your

income

In these ever-changing times, one of, if not the, most important things to have in place is protection. Unfortunately, it is also the bit that many people overlook, or have the best intentions to revisit and regrettable never get round to doing so. ​


Hopefully, you would never need to make a claim on a protection policy, but should anything happen, ask yourself how you would you survive? With the Governments Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) being only £109.40 a week (circa £474.00 per month), and the cost of living rising, and protecting your income, and lives has never been more important.

Many property owners do not have any form of life insurance, for one reason or another. They may think it’s too expensive or believe they will never need it. Many will think that having a Death in Service policy through work is enough. With the average wage in 2023 being £34,000, which works out to be around £661.00 per week. According to the Office of National Statistics, and many Death is Service Policies only covering four times your salary, would you have enough to pay off your mortgage for your family to be able to stay in the home they love?

Types

There are two types of Life Cover available, both of which are a tax-free lump sum designed to pay out on death and are generally linked to the mortgage, resulting in the full amount being paid off allowing partners to live in the property mortgage-free.

01 Decreasing Term Assurance

With this type, the sum assured decreases with the mortgage amount meaning in the event of death, the provider will only pay out the same amount as the outstanding mortgage balance.

02 Level Term Assurance

With this type, the sum assured stays constant throughout the term of the policy.

03 Family Income Benefit

This is a form of life cover and is designed to pay regular monthly payments in the event of death to assist with the regular cost of living, for example, bills and council tax etc.

Critical & Serious Illness Cover


Get Your Cover

None of us are indestructible, no matter how much we believe we are. What would you do if you had a critical illness? How long could you afford to run your home whilst not working?

According to a recent study by Macmillan cancer Support, 83% of cancer patients are £570 a month worse off during treatment. With treatment progressing leaps and bounds in recent years, you’ll hopefully be up and back to work in no time, but can you financially cope in the interim?

Whilst not every illness is covered by Critical Illness Cover, or Serious Illness cover, a vast majority are.


Critical Illness Cover is a tax-free lump sum payment designed to pay out on diagnosis of a covered illness and may be cheaper than you first think.


Here at Durant & Co, we will work alongside you, to get you the best cover possible within your budget.

A regular income if you are unable to work

Income Protection is a policy that provides a regular income if you are unable to work because of sickness or disability and comes in many varieties and can pay out up to 70% of your income monthly.


You can have it on a short-term basis, paying out for 1,2, or maybe 5 years, or you can have long-term Income Protection, which could potentially pay out for what would have been the rest of your working career, depending on why you cannot work.


We can include a deferred period, with many employers offering full sick pay for a fixed amount of time, reduced sick pay for another fixed term, and then SSP after that, we can staircase the policy to top up your income throughout each stage.
