What is an insurance review, and why is it important?

If it’s time to review your insurance, some key questions to consider are: how secure do you feel? Do you have all your insurance needs covered? A comprehensive insurance strategy is crucial to achieving financial peace of mind, especially when thinking about your long-term financial goals. But how do you know if you have the coverage you need? Regular insurance reviews can help ensure you do, and identify possible adjustments if you don’t – think of it like a financial security WOF.

The basics of an insurance review

During an insurance review, we start by reviewing your current situation and where you stand financially. Together, we go over the types of coverage you currently have, such as medical, life, income, and trauma cover. We’ll also check your levels of cover to ensure they align with your needs and financial goals.

Assessing your financial situation and future goals

Are you paying off a mortgage or any significant bills? Do you have children’s education costs to consider? Is your current protection plan sufficient for your evolving needs? By understanding your financial landscape, we can recommend appropriate cover adjustments to ensure your coverage is aligned with both your current and future needs.

Reviewing life and health changes

Life can be full of surprises – a change in health, a new job, marriage, or buying a house can all affect your insurance needs. We’ll review your recent life changes to check that your policies remain the right fit for your situation.

Identifying and addressing coverage gaps

One key benefit of an insurance review is identifying any potential protection gaps. For example, if you’ve recently taken on a mortgage, you may need to increase or add to existing covers to ensure your family can stay in their home if something happens to you.

Understanding policy terms and exclusions

Insurance policies can be complex, so it is important to understand the terms and exclusions that apply. Part of the review process involves breaking down these details, so you have a clear understanding of what is and isn’t covered, as well as your responsibilities. This knowledge can lead to a smoother claims process experience if the need arises.
