Critical illness

Our critical illness is currently £46 with Norwich Union. Lifesearch has quoted me £40 on an Axa policy that covers about 5 extra illnesses. Has anyone had a good critical illness quote via Cavendish? Can you recommend any other online IFAs?

    Cavendish are probably your best bet if you want an execution only IFA. Whilst their pricing is not the best on nil commission basis, the fact they only charge a tiny amount to set it up makes up for it.

    Cavendish have quoted me £31 per month for a Legal & General policy. This beats Lifesearch's Axa policy by £10/month

    Lifesearch have told me that they provide the better service. They'll check I've filled the form in correctly and chase doctors' reports and future claims. I'm happy to do this myself for a saving of approx £2520

    Thank you to dunstonh for saying it was worth paying out for the Cavendish quote :-)
