Insurance costs to go up after the EU gender directive

by Richard Stokes

Life Insurance

Richard Stokes niche advice

The cost of protecting your family and belongings is set to rise after 21 December 2012

For quite a number of years life insurance costs have been actually going down for many and one of the biggest beneficiaries have been women in general as statistically they live longer. This has meant significantly lower charges for ensuring women for insurances but this is set to change on 21 December 2012 when the EU gender directive will be enforced in the UK.

Women can no longer be charged less than men just because they’re ‘women’. This means it could cost more for life and other insurances if you wait until after 21 December to take it out.

To avoid the unnecessary hike in premiums you still have time to speak to us about your protection needs. Unlike the comparison sites out there we offer full advice on our panel of insurers which means that you can rest assured you are getting the best insurance policy to suit your needs.

For more information on how we can help with your Insurance requirments , please contact us on 0207 993 2044 or alternatively complete the simple enquiry form on the top right hand side of this page.
