Where to start

A review may lead to keeping, reducing, replacing or changing cover, or simply understanding it better. It does not automatically mean buying more insurance.

Key points

Review regularly

A regular review helps make sure the cover, cost and documents still make sense as time passes.

Review after life changes

Changes in household, income, debt, work or dependants can change the question the cover is meant to answer.

Check what cover is for

Before changing a policy, it helps to name the risk, cost or obligation the cover is intended to manage.

Keep documents handy

Schedules, renewal notices, adviser notes, exclusions and claims history give a review something concrete to work from.

Life changes can change the question

Big household, income, debt or work changes can make old assumptions worth checking. The point of a review is to understand whether the original reason for cover still makes sense.

Review can mean more than buying more

A review might lead to keeping cover, reducing it, changing it, replacing it or simply understanding it better. It should not automatically become a push to add more cover.

Check cost and cover together

Premium changes matter, but so do exclusions, limits, benefit amounts, waiting periods, policy ownership and whether the cover still answers the risk it was meant to manage.

Bring documents to the review

Useful documents include the policy schedule, renewal notice, premium changes, exclusions, adviser notes and any claim history.

What to check next

  • Cover type and amount depend on personal circumstances.
  • An appropriately authorised process is needed before recommending changes.
  • Policy documents remain the source for actual cover.
