Tonight will be battling it out at the Mortgage Introducer Awards at Old Billingsgate. Having already received an Excellence Award, fingers crossed we can bring home the top title of Later Life Broker of The Year (sponsored by ). We are up against some big hitters so it will tough. It is great to have our efforts helping older borrowers recognised by making the shortlist though. Good luck to all the finalists.

Are you over 50 and consider axing life or income protection insurance due to the cost of living crisis? If so, read on…

Continued high inflation is prompting over 50s to reconsider whether they really need their life insurance policies, research has suggested1*, sparking fears of vulnerabilities.

A survey of 1,000 people aged 50+ has shown that 22% of customers are thinking about cancelling their monthly payments as a result of the rising cost of living. A fifth (20%) of women with an over-50s life insurance plan are considering no longer paying, compared with 17% of men.

Looking ahead

Having the right insurance cover for your unique needs is an indispensable safety net for you and your loved ones. Before you cancel your life insurance payments, think about your financial commitments and the wider impact. Get in touch, I can help. Payment breaks may be available or there may be budget options meaning you won’t be left with no cover at all.

As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply
