It was 50 years cover for £500,000. That seems reasonable quote to me as you are covered until you are 79. Statistically there is a good chance that you will die before then (just ask Mrs Bowie, Mrs Frey and Mrs Rickman) and they will have to pay out £500,000 whereas they will have only received one tenth of that in premiums even if you don't die until the fiftieth year. If you reduce the term you should see the premiums drop dramatically Edited by Midlands Eagle (20 Jan 2016 11.47am) Yeah 79 is quite a gamble for the Insurance Co. I pay £41 a month for £100k of cover but that was loaded due to my dodgy ticker (and then reduced due to my devastatingly good looks) - and that ends when I'm 70. The younger and lovelier Mrs Pikester only pays £10 pm for £100k of cover........... every time I see her at the top of the stairs I start thinking what I'd do with the money. Build your own w*nking den in the garden? Or upgrade the existing one? With her out the way I'd be able to use the house. That's it.... my mind's made up! You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

Quote Kennyd163 at 20 Jan 2016 12.09am So I'm at that stage in my life where I was looking into getting some cover incase I snuff it early (married, mortgage and 4 kids). Went online and got a quote for £37 an month for the next 50 years and was looking at a nice payout for the family when the inevitable happens. Had the email back today saying that all the paperwork was done and just need to give a date for payments each month and that's that. Trouble is that it is now no longer £37, it has gone up to £70.90 a month. Wtf changed in the space of a month to warrant it doubling in cost? Anyone have life insurance with cheap payments? The only reason that you would have seen a premium hike like that in such a short space of time is that the premium has been "rated" i.e. increased due to medical evidence received by the underwriters, or if you are a smoker (the low premium would be for a non-smoker only). It looks like a 50% rating, probably after they asked for a doctor's report from your GP. You could shop around, some insurance companies only look at people with no health issues and offer the lowest premiums. Other insurers will look at individuals with less than perfect health but will charge a slightly higher premium, not necessarily as much as your quote has been increased to. There's plenty of insurance companies to choose from. I used to be immortal

Think it might because People in New Addington have a lower life expectancy than most. Would reduce the amount to 50k so you can pay off your mortgage and have a bit left over for a hoilday to Butlins.
