Reading public reviews in context
Public sources record a Google rating for Tom Donald Financial Services based on 1 review. Ratings can be useful context, but read the original reviews and their dates rather than treating a score alone as a recommendation.
Ask how the quotation was selected
A broker should be able to explain how it selected the policy it presents. Get that explanation in writing, then compare the cover and price with any alternative quotation on the same assumptions.
Check the policy details side by side
A lower premium does not by itself show whether a policy meets your needs. Check the underwriting basis, whether premiums are guaranteed or reviewable, and any optional benefits and compare quotations on the same level of cover.
Questions to ask before deciding
Before comparing prices, ask any broker — including this one — to confirm:
- whether underwriting is full medical or moratorium
- if premiums are guaranteed or reviewable
- what happens to cover if you miss a payment
- whether critical illness cover is included or separate
Read the terms of business carefully
Ask any broker how it is paid and whether it charges fees. The answer should be set out in its client documentation, alongside the service it provides and any relevant disclosure about remuneration.
Choosing the service that suits you
If you live or work in Dumfries, use the firm's own documentation to understand its service. You can then decide whether an additional quotation would be useful for your circumstances.
