Normally, when you take out a life insurance or critical illness cover policy as arranged by your mortgage adviser, IFA or through one of our competitor's websites, the insurance company will pay commission to whoever arranges your cover. In most cases there is no legal requirement to tell you how much commission will be paid unless you specifically ask.
You may be surprised to know how much commission is paid to whoever arranges your policy. See our competition comparison tables for examples of premiums and savings.
You might think that cutting out the middleman and applying directly to an insurance company would result in a lower premium because there is no commission being paid to a third party. A reasonable assumption but in fact it doesn't work that way.
Again, see our comparison tables section that includes quotes directly from insurers or see for yourself by getting a free instant quote.
Depending on how much research you've done already, you may have found different premiums quoted for the exact same policy from different sources. This may be due to different commission terms that the company providing the quotes has with the insurance companies.
Relating to this, some advisers may automatically discount a chunk of their commission to ‘under-cut’ the competition. We think none is better than some.
Your saving may be considerable, especially as this is long-term cover that you may be paying for many years.
