Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but with the right life insurance in place, you can help ensure your loved ones are financially secure – whatever happens. As a family-run business based in Blackpool, we understand the value of protecting your family’s future. That’s why we’re here to offer clear, friendly advice and help you find the right cover for your needs and circumstances.
Our Story
Trusted Advice, Backed by Experience
We are proud to be part of the Openwork network, one of the UK’s largest and most trusted financial advice networks.
This allows us to offer a wide range of life insurance options from some of the UK’s leading providers. Whether you’re looking to cover a mortgage, provide financial support for your children, or simply gain peace of mind, our advisers will help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Our Approach
We Can Help You:
Our advisers will take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly, and guide you through every step of the life insurance journey – from initial enquiry to completion.
Level term assurance
Pays out a fixed lump sum if you die during the policy term
Whole of life cover
Life-long protection with a guaranteed payout when you die
Decreasing term assurance
Designed to help cover a repayment mortgage, with cover reducing over time
Critical illness cover
Pays a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness covered by the policy
Family income benefit
Provides regular income for your family if you pass away
We believe that life insurance is more than a policy – it’s peace of mind. Let us help you put the right protection in place for you and your family.
Protection plans with no investment element will have no cash value at any time and will cease at the end of the term. If premiums are not maintained, then cover will lapse.

Couldn't recommend their services enough, Rob who was the person dealing with us always made himself available whenever we had any issues, Due to our chain falling down we had to go back to see him a few months later for which he was more than happy and always got any issues we had addressed immediately. 10/10 Would highly recommend, Thank you W muntoni2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “My partner and I approached The Mortgage Shop some time before we were in a position to apply for a mortgage but had the pleasure of speaking to Rob who provided some invaluable advice on how to approach searching for and buying our first home. Some weeks later, we were ready so paid a visit to him at his office. From the get go, the service we’ve received has been exceptional. At every step, Rob explained very well what was happening and what the next steps would be, but was also answered any questions we had when they arose, putting our minds at ease with anything we were unsure about. Whenever there was a status change to our application, Rob updated us promptly and again explained what to expect next along the journey. Rob is a credit to their business and we can’t thank him and The Mortgage Shop enough. We will easily be recommending them to anyone looking at applying for a mortgage.” N Bahri2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
