  • Life insurance

    Hi everyone,

    I am expecting my first child (actually due in a couple of days!) and my partner and i could really do with some help regarding life insurance policies.

    I've looked online and compared some quotes, and i recently found this one called Best price Fs. Tempted to go with them because they don't charge commission and they are cheaper than the other sites i have looked at (the more to spend on baby clothes the better!) Best price Fs charge £20 to purchase a policy, where as cavendish are £35 and money world are £25 from what i can make out. Using a big name insurance company is important (so hopefully) they would pay out if the worst happened! Your input would be most helpful.

    Thanks

    Based from my experience, my advice to you is take your time in selecting a life insurance company. Study their background and history. Understand very well your policy and review your policy from time to time.

        Dividend Paying Whole Life

        Life Insurance is a great savings vehicle that most people don't understand. The key is to get a dividend paying whole life insurance contract with a mutual insurance company. You build cash value with your premiums in this policy that you can use during your life!

          This might be the worst advice ever. Do not buy whole life insurance.

            Actually that's the second worst advice. The first worst advice is "invest in a timeshare."

              The thing is everybody has to make money. Ask them how they are getting paid.

              Are they brokers? If so, then ask which company is underwriting the insurance. Also, of course, check the financial strength of the company.

                  There are numerous other threads explaining why nobody should ever buy whole life. You've already responded to one of them. Please stop or you will be banned from this site.
