Anyone can get ill and it can prevent you from working. This is why it can be useful to have Income Protection insurance so that you can continue to receive a monthly income if anything like this happens.
When the policy pays out, you will receive a lump sum in monthly payments until you are able to return to work or retire. Before you receive your payments, for the deferred period you will be expected to use some of your savings, an employee sickness scheme or some other source of income to live off. This period can be defined upon taking out your policy; the shorter the deferred period, the higher your monthly premiums will be.
Each policyholder will have a different set of terms, no two people will be the same. As your protection and mortgage broker in Leeds, we will work alongside you throughout the whole process. The first step is to try and find the right policy for you and set the correct specifications so that the terms fit your personal and financial situation.
We have dealt with customers that haven’t needed their policy, however, the risk of not having one can outweigh the costs of having one. If your situation changes and you don’t have a backup in place, you may struggle to compensate for the lost income. Feel free to contact our team in Leeds for more advice on Income Protection or any other kind of insurance.
A large number of employers offer this as a part of their employee benefits package, therefore, some applicants may already have Income Protection insurance in place. This means that you will not have to take out another policy unless you switch to an employer that does not offer it.
People may opt to use their savings instead of taking out Income Protection. If you choose this option, you may need to think about how you’d be able to afford living costs if you were to get ill again.
If you would rather save your money and have a policy in place to provide the payments, Income Protection could be the most suitable solution for you.
There are other alternative policies such as Critical Illness insurance, however, this tends to cover life-long diseases or disabilities that will put you out of work for life.
Before making a decision, we recommend consulting with a qualified protection and mortgage advisors in Leeds. As experienced professionals, we will evaluate your personal and financial situation, helping you find the most appropriate insurance product tailored to your specific needs.
At Leedsmoneyman, we offer every customer a free initial insurance review, no matter their situation and always provide expert mortgage advice in Leeds. We will go through your personal and financial circumstances and check whether Income Protection is the right option for you. Factors such as your lifestyle, age and medical history can affect the monthly premiums that you will have to pay on your policy.
Income Protection insurance can be costly, and even more so if you choose for a short deferred period with your policy. If you have other Insurance policies in place, it could be beneficial to work out the total costs and what you are covered for.
Before taking out your policy, you should be aware of the specifics, when it pays out and the conditions that come with the policy. Your Protection Advisor in Leeds will help with this.
For insurance business we offer products from a range of insurers.

We had an outstanding experience with Leeds Money Man during our house buying process. From the very beginning, their team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, but they made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. They truly took care of everything for us — guiding us step by step, explaining things clearly, and always making sure we understood what was happening. Communication was excellent throughout; they were always quick to respond, proactive with updates, and on top of every detail. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that everything was being handled so efficiently. What stood out most was how supportive and attentive they were. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they genuinely cared about helping us secure the right mortgage and complete our purchase successfully. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and would absolutely recommend Leeds Money Man to anyone looking for mortgage advice or help with buying a home. Their expertise and dedication made a huge difference to our experience.

Dinah was fantastic throughout our whole process. Really, we have been speaking on and off for about 4 months until we eventually felt ready and out an offer in on the property we're buying. She answered all of our questions, no matter how silly they seemed and made the process a lot less stressful with us being first time buyers. She gave advice related to not just our mortgage but all the protection as well as making offers, questions to ask estate agents and explaining the whole buying process. Joe then helped us with the actual mortgage application who was also super helpful and luckily everything went through very quickly! We'd highly recommend MoneyMan and I'm sure we'll be using them in the future.

Yet again great experience with the money man mortgage brokers. Daniel was brilliant throughout the process. Professional, quick turnarounds and the outcome we wanted. Literally took all the hassle away from finding a mortgage, helpful for two busy full time working professionals. We will be using Daniel again!

Amazing service from the team at Leedsmoneyman. Was recommended them by a work colleague a couple of years ago and their support throughout our First-Time purchase was world class. Always willing to answer any question, no matter how trivial. Dinah was a star helping us with the initial stages and mortgage application, and Debbie kept us informed well up to completion. Would highly recommend for FTBer's and Experienced buyers alike.

As first-time buyers we've had a great experience with UK Money Man, especially with Jason Loft + Stacey Moss. They have been so helpful and really explained everything in detail and made the whole mortgage process feel very stress-free with no pressure either. They have been very speedy and kept us updated with everything we needed to know. For such a big and scary process as first-time buyers they have made things much easier + we'd highly recommend!

I recommend Leedsmoneyman and their services. I came to moneyman to buy my first home and had nothing but positive experiences with every member of the team, from getting my mortgage in principal, to sorting my protection insurance cover and right up until completion. Jason went above and beyond to answer all my questions from the very start, and gave me so many mortgage options and advise - even at times when I could only assume was outside of normal office hours. I was also later assisted by Amy and Louise who again, made sure all my queries were handled quickly and professionally. All three made the scary and confusing process of buying a home so much easier so thank you so much!

I was very pleased with the professionalism, quick responses and good communication of Dinah and Louise. They made my remortgaging experience a smooth ride as I had to deal with Help to buy loan. I am self employed so the lander wanted lots of documents (a year worth of weekly payslips). They also assisted in getting my life insurance and income protection plan at a very good monthly rates.
