New Research into Variation in Life Expectancy Leads Some Consumers to Reconsider Life Insurance
LONDON, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
A new study has shown that life expectancy among pensioners can vary greatly depending on where they live. This could prompt people to reconsider their life insurance options and to visit price comparison websites, such as comparethemarket.com, to find a good deal.
The research by actuarial firm Towers Watson shows that the top 15 locations for a long life are mainly found in seaside towns in southern England. Meanwhile the list of towns with the shortest life expectancy is dominated by places in Scotland and Northern Ireland.[1]
As the factors in this study could impact life insurance quotes, people may find that the life insurance options available to them are more attractive based on their postcode. Previously life insurance has been viewed as a costly insurance, comparethemarket.com challenges this and advises people to visit their comparison website and see if they can get a better deal on their life insurance.
Andrew Stocks, Director at comparethemarket.com said: "A change in circumstances such as a move to a retirement town could lead to a better offer on life insurance. Consumers who would like to know more about their options should visit comparethemarket.com for more information. We offer an easy way to compare a number of different providers from across the market, helping our customers to see at a glance the life insurance deals which are open to them."
Specialising in more than just life insurance, comparethemarket.com provides customers with an easy way to find the right deal on a wide range of insurance and financial products including car insurance, home insurance, van insurance, bike insurance, pet insurance and credit cards.
