In order to get you quotes quickly, we have made some assumptions about you.

Assumptions we've made

Policy start date This is the same as the quotation
Health You are in good health and there is no family medical history that could affect the decision of the insurer. Certain medical information and family history can affect the cover offered and the premiums quoted.
Hobbies & Activities You do not regularly take part in any hazardous sports or activities. This could affect the decision of the insurer and the premiums quoted.
Decreasing mortgage term assurance Some providers may require details of your current mortgage interest rate - this will be defaulted to the insurer's standard rate. The cover selected is for the same amount and term as your mortgage.
Occupation This has been defaulted to "office clerk". Certain occupations can affect the decision of the insurer and the premiums quoted.
