UK Borrowers Paying Too Much For Life Insurance From Their Banks

Life Insurance for a man aged 30, covering a £150,000 mortgage, costs £17.05 a month from HSBC and £15.95 a month from RBS. The same cover from Legal and General costs £7.73 a month and from Aviva, £8. Savings would be more than £100 each year and in excess of £2,500 over the 25 year life of a mortgage.

Richard Morea, Technical Manager at L&C said, “Anyone who has bought life insurance from their bank should review whether it represents best value for money. The simplest way to see if they could save money is to use L&C’s minute Life Insurance Check calculator This will show them quickly if their current premium can be beaten for equivalent cover. Anyone currently applying for a mortgage via their bank should get independent quotes for life insurance – the savings could be substantial.’
