What Insurance Should I Get?

When people ask me “What insurance should I get?”, my answer is always the same: it depends on your life, your priorities, and your plans for tomorrow. At Well Financial, protecting your future is my priority. I don’t just recommend policies, I listen, analyse, and advise, ensuring every decision is tailored to you.

Should I Get Home Insurance?

Your home is more than bricks and mortar,

it’s your safe place. Home insurance protects both the building and your belongings.

• Who should get it? Homeowners, landlords, and tenants.

• My role: I’ll guide you through buildings vs. contents cover, making sure your policy reflects your lifestyle.

Do I Need Income Protection Insurance?

Life doesn’t always go to plan. Income protection pays out if illness or injury stops you from working.

• Who should get it? Self‑employed workers, contractors, or anyone without strong sick‑pay benefits.

• My role: I’ll help you choose cover that keeps your bills and mortgage repayments secure.

Should I Get Life Insurance?

Life insurance provides financial security for your loved ones if you pass away.

• Who should get it? Parents, couples with dependents, or anyone wanting to safeguard their family’s future.

• My role: I’ll explain the difference between term life and whole‑of‑life cover, so you can make a confident choice.

Do I Need Critical Illness Insurance?

Critical illness cover pays out if you’re diagnosed with serious conditions like cancer or heart disease.

• Who should get it? Anyone with dependents, mortgages, or limited savings.

• My role: I’ll help you balance cost with peace of mind, ensuring you’re covered when it matters most.

Key Things to Look For in a Critical Illness Policy

1. Range of Illnesses Covered

• Most policies cover major conditions like cancer, heart attack, and stroke.

• Some insurers include additional illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, or organ failure.

• The broader the list, the more comprehensive the protection.

2. Clarity of Definitions

• Each insurer defines illnesses differently. For example, “cancer” may exclude certain early‑stage diagnoses.

• Check how conditions are worded to avoid surprises when claiming.

3. Payout Terms

• Policies pay a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a covered illness.

• Some offer partial payouts for less severe conditions, which can be useful for financial support during recovery.

4. Exclusions & Limitations

• Pre‑existing conditions are usually excluded.

• Some policies exclude illnesses that develop gradually or aren’t considered “critical.”

• Always read the fine print to understand what isn’t covered.

5. Flexibility of Cover

• Can be bought as standalone cover or added to life insurance.

• Look for options to adjust the cover amount and policy length to suit your needs.

6. Additional Benefits

• Some insurers include extras like children’s cover, access to private medical consultations, or support services.

• These add value beyond the core payout.

7. Insurer Reputation & Claims History

• Consider providers with strong reputations for paying claims promptly.
