Home is where the heart is
Britain’s families report an emotional attachment to their homes; however when you look at how many have protection to help them meet their household financial commitments if they were to fall ill or lose their income, this love isn’t obvious.
Over a quarter of families save nothing on a monthly basis, and just 8% of Britons have income protection in place and only 11% have critical illness cover. If they were to fall ill or lose their income, a worryingly high number have little or no protection, leaving them vulnerable to difficulties with mortgage or rent payments.
So, with the excesses of the festive season behind us, what better time is there to ensure your clients take an informed look at their finances, to protect the home and lifestyles they cherish so much?
Since none of us know what’s around the corner, help your clients start this New Year with all the right intentions.
