Why Nesto
Why use an independent Life Insurance Broker?
Going direct to an insurer means you only see their products — and you might pay significantly more than necessary. An independent life insurance broker compares policies from every major UK insurer to find the exact cover your family needs at the lowest possible premium. They also ensure your policy is written correctly — many policies pay out to the wrong people or create unnecessary inheritance tax liability because they weren't set up properly from the start.
🔍
Whole market search
Compares policies from all major UK insurers — AIG, Aviva, Legal & General, Royal London, Vitality and more.
📋
Written in trust
Ensure your policy pays out quickly to the right people, without going through probate or creating IHT issues.
🏥
Medical expertise
Brokers know which insurers are lenient with specific medical conditions — getting cover others might refuse.
💷
Best price guaranteed
Independent comparison often saves 20–40% vs going direct. Your broker won't stop until they find the best deal.

Frequently asked questions about Life Insurance Brokers
A common rule of thumb is 10x your annual salary, but the right amount depends on your mortgage, dependants, existing cover and income. Your broker will calculate the exact amount to protect your family.
Life insurance covers a fixed term (e.g. 25 years). Life assurance covers your whole life and guarantees a payout. Most families need term insurance; life assurance is used for estate planning.
Yes, in most cases. Some conditions result in higher premiums or exclusions, but specialist insurers cover most conditions. Your broker knows which insurers take a lenient approach to specific medical histories.
Usually within 30 days of a valid claim being submitted. Writing the policy in trust speeds this up — it bypasses probate and can pay out within days.
Placing your policy in trust means it pays directly to your chosen beneficiaries without going through your estate. This avoids probate delays and can prevent the payout being subject to inheritance tax.
Absolutely — premiums are lowest when you're young and healthy. Locking in a low rate now protects you against future premium increases if your health changes.
Probably not, unless you have significant debts or want to leave a legacy. Your broker will help you decide whether cover is appropriate for your situation.
Yes. Many people hold multiple policies — for example, a mortgage protection policy plus a family income benefit policy. Your broker will assess whether multiple policies serve your needs.
Based on age, health, smoker status, lifestyle, occupation and the amount/term of cover. Your broker submits details to multiple insurers to find the most competitive underwriting decision.
Your cover will lapse and you'll have no protection. Some policies have a payment holiday option. Contact your insurer or broker before missing payments.
Some policies allow alterations; others require a new application. Your broker will advise on whether your existing policy meets your current needs or whether switching is beneficial.
Usually not. Employer schemes typically pay 2–4x salary and end when you leave the job. Independent cover gives you control, portability and the right level of protection.
A common rule of thumb is 10x your annual income, but the right amount depends on your mortgage balance, debts, number of dependants, and your partner's income. A life insurance broker runs a proper needs analysis to find the exact figure — avoiding both underinsurance and wasted premiums.
Level term pays a fixed lump sum if you die within the term. Decreasing term reduces over time — typically aligned with a repayment mortgage. Decreasing term is cheaper; level term provides a larger payout for dependants. A broker explains which suits your situation.
Yes, though terms vary significantly. Some conditions result in standard terms, others in premium loadings or exclusions. A specialist broker knows which insurers take a more favourable view of specific conditions, saving you from declined applications that could harm future applications.
