Premium policies cover 50 or more conditions. We compare policies on the breadth and quality of cover, not just price, to ensure Ealing residents are properly protected.
Can I combine critical illness with my W5 mortgage?
Yes — arranging critical illness cover alongside your W5 mortgage is strongly recommended and very common in Ealing. A combined life and critical illness policy pays out on diagnosis of a covered condition or on death, ensuring your Ealing property is protected in either scenario. We can arrange protection at the same time as your mortgage application to simplify the process.
What is the average critical illness claim in Ealing?
UK-wide, the average critical illness claim is around £70,000–£90,000, but Ealing residents with W5 mortgages often hold significantly higher sums assured given local property prices. Cancer is the most common claim across all insurers, accounting for around 60–70% of critical illness payouts. We help Ealing residents calculate the right level of cover to clear their mortgage and cover additional costs during recovery.
How long does a critical illness claim take to pay out?
Once a valid claim is submitted with the required medical evidence, most critical illness claims are assessed within 4–8 weeks. Leading insurers like Aviva, Legal & General, and Royal London publish claim payout rates of 92–97% on valid claims. We help Ealing residents understand exactly what evidence is needed so there are no delays when a claim is made.
