Types of Insurance we may recommend
Life Insurance

Matched to your mortgage amount and term. This can be arranged jointly, so if either of you passes away during the mortgage, the remaining balance can be paid off. This helps protect your family, avoids financial strain, and ensures your home can remain mortgage free.

Critical Illness Cover

Pays a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a specified serious illness, such as cancer. We focus on value, not just price — looking for policies that cover more conditions, allow partial payouts for lower-stage illnesses, and may include cover for children.

Income Protection

Provides a monthly payment if illness or injury prevents you from working. This helps you continue paying your mortgage and bills while you recover. It can be arranged for employed and self-employed clients and is tailored around any sick pay you already receive.

Family Income Benefit

Pays a regular monthly income to your partner if you pass away, for a set period — often until children are no longer financially dependent. It can also include critical illness cover and may be a more affordable option than a lump sum policy.

Buildings and Contents Insurance

Buildings insurance is a condition of your mortgage and must be in place from exchange of contracts. Many clients also choose contents cover, so both the property and belongings are protected if something like fire or flooding occurs.

We can also discuss optional extras such as accidental damage, home emergency cover, legal expenses and cover for high-value items.

Medical Information

Most protection policies require details of your medical history. Letting us know about any conditions early allows us to identify the most suitable insurers and avoid unnecessary delays. Some providers may request additional information or contact your GP.

I’ve Used Ashleigh from riverside mortgage advice on two occasions now and she has been amazing. Ashleigh couldn’t do enough to help me and was always at the other end of the phone for any questions I had, always advising and making things as simple as possible for me. I will definitely be going back to Ashleigh for the next time. I can’t recommend her enough.

I honestly cannot recommend Ashleigh highly enough. Even though our circumstances weren’t the easiest, she still managed to find us a lender and never once made us feel like anything was too much trouble. She turned what could have been a really stressful experience into something that felt effortless.

I recently worked with Lee of Riverside Mortgage Advice to support one of my clients in securing a Buy-to-Let mortgage, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his service. From start to finish, Lee demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of the BTL market. He navigated what could have been a complex process with ease, ensuring my client received tailored advice, competitive rates, and clear guidance at every stage. His communication was timely and transparent, which made the experience smooth and stress-free for all involved. Thanks to Lee of Riverside Mortgage Advice, my client is now successfully on the property ladder with a solid investment in place. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for expert mortgage support, particularly in the Buy-to-Let space.
