No one likes to think about the worst happening, but unfortunately we all have rainy days. The good news is, getting insurance doesn’t have to be a stressful or confusing process.

The team at Squirrel are here to help
Let's be real; the thought of insurance can bring an inner cynic out of the most bubbly of individuals. Unfortunately it's still something we all have to think about at some point, so we try to make it as simple and painless as possible. We’re serious about value-for-money and we won’t try and talk you into insurance you don’t need. We offer impartial advice and help you choose the cover that will work for your lifestyle.
We’re here to make sure you and your loved ones are protected and you understand what you are and are not covered for. Most importantly, your Squirrel insurance adviser will be there for you if you ever need to make a claim.
Why use the same company for your mortgage and insurance?
- It’s a great idea to use your mortgage adviser as a one stop shop to make the cover your buy as cost effective as possible and ensure that it's completely aligned to your future financial goals. Plus, it keeps things simple!
- One of the first things you need to do when you get a mortgage is sort out your insurance. Using the same team for both means you don't have to juggle multiple contacts or explain your circumstances over and over.
- The level of insurance you will need in your life is fluid; it changes over time depending on your current financial situation. Having your mortgage and insurance looked after by the same team of people you trust means it's always easy to update your insurance as your financial situation changes and can save you thousands in premiums over the life of your policy.
The team at Squirrel will work with you to get you sorted. Whatever the future holds, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Unbiased advice
Your adviser will discuss your current situation with you, find out your priorities and ensure that they recommend insurance that aligns with your future goals and lifestyle. You won't be pushed into anything you don't want or more insurance than you need.
Insurance review whenever needed
Your insurance cover can be reviewed every year or whenever your circumstances change, such as buying a house or starting a family. We're just a phone call away and happy to reassess things with you.
Help with making a claim
This bit we obviously don't want to happen for you. But this is what insurance is there for right? If you ever need to make a claim, your Squirrel adviser will be there ready to go in to bat for you and make sure everything goes smoothly.

Both Alex and Eleanor were fantastic. I have used a mortgage broker in the past - with mixed results. They both were amazing. Would 100% use again. Very happy with the outcome.A

Jessica was amazing! While other advisors told me I wasn't in a financial position to buy my first house, Jessica worked with me to make it happen. Thanks to her, I am now in my own home. Thank you so much Jessica, I loved working with you!K

Alex was very helpful. Being first home buyers, we had endless number of questions. He was always patient, forthcoming and calm. I am happy to say Alex helped us more than our solicitor did. Thank you Alex and Squirrel for helping us buy our first home.V
