So I'm at that stage in my life where I was looking into getting some cover incase I snuff it early (married, mortgage and 4 kids). Went online and got a quote for £37 an month for the next 50 years and was looking at a nice payout for the family when the inevitable happens. Had the email back today saying that all the paperwork was done and just need to give a date for payments each month and that's that. Trouble is that it is now no longer £37, it has gone up to £70.90 a month. Wtf changed in the space of a month to warrant it doubling in cost? Anyone have life insurance with cheap payments?

that seams like a lot. Me and the Mrs got dual cover that pays off the mortgage if one of us dies or becomes terminally ill. Ours is with Zurich and only around £26 a month. Wasn't anything I was bothered about when I was footloose and fancy free but would hate for the Mrs and my son to have to move out of our house if the worst happened.

£100k for me and the missus over 20 years is £35 a month if that helps at all.

Maybe I was just being greedy then. It was 50 years cover for £500,000. Waiting for a response as to why the sudden price hike. Would hate my family to be financially fcuked and have to sell up to get by.

Statistically there is a good chance that you will die before then (just ask Mrs Bowie, Mrs Frey and Mrs Rickman) and they will have to pay out £500,000 whereas they will have only received one tenth of that in premiums even if you don't die until the fiftieth year. If you reduce the term you should see the premiums drop dramatically

This has got Hoof written all over it ( for a fee Not an IFA any longer - retired! Suggest the OP gets in touch with a reputable IFA to review his cover and check the market to get the best deal. Hargreaves Lansdown are okay for this sort of stuff, or check on google for independents in your area. I'm sure there are another couple of guys on here that are financial advisers?

It is cheaper if you have "decreasing life" insurance. "Level term" cover will be dearer because the payout would not decrease from the amount you want to be covered for.

Yeah 79 is quite a gamble for the Insurance Co. I pay £41 a month for £100k of cover but that was loaded due to my dodgy ticker (and then reduced due to my devastatingly good looks) - and that ends when I'm 70. The younger and lovelier Mrs Pikester only pays £10 pm for £100k of cover........... every time I see her at the top of the stairs I start thinking what I'd do with the money.
