Child-free households are 60% less likely to have relevant protection in place*, research has found.

Child-free families are on the rise, with 4.1m households in the UK not having children in their family unit. This has financial benefits, as child-free households have about £12,000 more disposable income per year. But it seems that those without children may not have considered their insurance as 67% of double income child-free households do not have life cover, while 82% of single income households are unprotected.

 

Just because you don’t have children, it doesn’t mean that you don’t need protection. Contact us to review your cover and ensure that you and your loved ones stay financially secure, whatever happens.

 

As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply
