Avoid at all costs

I used Lifesearch to look for life insurance for myself and my wife, payable on second death. From the start they wrongly entered me as female, an error which took weeks to correct and they then contacted a surgery we had never heard of rather than the one whose details I had provided for a medical report. The process dragged on (start of February to mid May) with me finally telling them never to contact me again after they chased me for bank details despite the insurer having advised they would not provide cover.

Specialist protection advice

Ryan Robson at LifeSearch is knowledgeable, helpful, reliable and thorough. I reached out for some protection quotes as I am changing jobs. I was impressed with his approach and have recommended him to a family member.

It took a while to complete but it…

It took a while to complete but it wasn't lifesearch's fault it was one insurer that eventually turned me down and lifesearch found me another that took over a week to decide to accept me but they got me a good deal in the end that I am happy with, many thanks
