At Daffodil Mortgages we deal with some of the country’s top insurers and will take the time & trouble to discuss what you are looking to achieve from your protection arrangements as well as recommending the most cost effective and secure solutions we possibly can. It may be that you already have arrangements in place but wish to ensure that they will do the job required should the worst happen, or you may wish to take advice to set up new arrangements.
For further information please see below our guide to the terms used and options available when choosing the right kind of cover.

Whole of Life Assurance will pay a lump sum whenever you die.

LEVEL AND DECREASING TERM
Level term policies will provided the same sum assured throughout the whole term of the policy and are typically suited to family protection and where there is a requirement for a fixed amount on a claim. Decreasing term policies are usually provided in conjunction with a repayment mortgage. The sum assured will reduce on each policy anniversary to broadly reflect the mortgage balance. The premium will not change throughout the term.
LUMP SUM AND MONTHLY INCOME
Lump sum policies are typically suitable to repay a fixed debt or where a one off payment is required on claim. Monthly income policies, termed Family Income Benefit or Family and Personal Income protection, are available as life and critical illness policies. On death or diagnosis of a defined illness, the policy will pay a monthly sum until the end of the policy term.
APPLICATION PROCESS
When you apply for a policy the Insurer will underwrite the application and may take up enquiries with your GP or ask you to attend a medical examination depending on your personal & medical history.
The result of these enquiries may affect the final premium you will pay.

Reviews
5 out of 5 stars
Ged was extremely helpful throughout the process. Due to it being our first mortgage, we were unsure of all the necessary steps. Ged and his team guided us perfectly though all of this making it an extremely easy experience.

“I do not think there is anything Ged could have done better. He went above and beyond to ensure my purchase went through as smoothly as possible. He was available by telephone out of hours, which was invaluable to me as I work full time in the daytime. Since this purchase, I have been in touch with Ged in relation to re-mortgaging my own home and he has offered constructive advice, which will save me further money on a monthly basis.”
