Hello!
I've put this question in the 'Home and Garden' section as the question relates to some of the decisions required when purchasing a home and so I'm sure I'll get the most relevant answers here.
I used a mortgage broker to arrange my mortgage application. Since, the broker has advised on other insurance policies (including, but not limited to, life insurance). As an end-user can somebody tell me what advantage an 'advised' policy brings, particularly if I know exactly what sort of cover I want?
I'm happy to purchase directly, or through a discount broker, in order to get slightly better premiums however I'm aware these will no longer be advised - It's clear an advised policy comes at a cost and I'd like to understand what you receive for that cost. Is, for example, a policy any more likely to pay out because it is advised? If the policy does not pay out would you have recourse through an advised policy?
Thank you.
