A great experience using Cavendish…

A great experience using Cavendish Online - Danielle was so patient and reassuring. It’s the first time I’ve ever changed my life insurance and it was so helpful to have lots of different quotes / providers to compare with. I’m not £10/month better off and wish I’d done it sooner.

Insuring a gift inter vivos

I had no idea how to go about obtaining insurance for a gift inter vivos. Harry skillfully guided me through the process which included a detailed health questionnaire. The premium is affordable and I feel relieved that if I were to die, the inheritance tax my children would need to pay would be covered through a trust arrangements

Review of life insurance

I used Cavendish Online to set up my life insurance and critical illness cover 2 years ago on recommendation from mse. I was offered a review and due to changed circumstances took them up on it. The help provided to reorganise and alter things was truly excellent. I don't normally write reviews but they really do make every step easy and listen to you in a kind human way. Many thanks

Excellent help with life insurance

Excellent help with life insurance. Broke down the cover clearly making it easy to understand. Provided quotes on email and called back at the arranged times to discuss further. No pressure put on to make a decision. Exactly what I wanted from a broker.

I spoke to one of the guys in the team…

I spoke to one of the guys in this company,he was upgrading my Insurance. He spoke very quickly. I asked him to slow down, so that I can process the information. He was very rude and very common. He ended up slamming the phone down on me, and not sending me the details for my Policy. I could not believe how rude they are. That’s unprofessional hanging up on a customer’s . I can see it in your reviews. You’ve done it many of times. Your staff need to be trained attitudes need to change and the guy who put the phone down on me needs to use the softly softly approach.
Update :

You have my details on your system you work along side with Scotish Widows. I’ve been a customer for over 15 years-

Clear Advice and Excellent Customer Service

Yvonne provided excellent service throughout the process of discussing my life insurance options. She was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making it easy for me to understand the different types of cover available.

I particularly appreciated that she never rushed me, gave me time to consider my options, and followed up exactly when agreed. Her professionalism and helpful approach made the whole experience much easier. Thank you so much, Yvonne.

Change is good

The ease of getting through on the telephone to discuss my needs with someone who knew what I wanted , and how to help me.
Whilst the call lasted just under 50 minutes, everything was explained in language that was easy to understand.
Clarity was given with regard to my options and how to proceed.
The adviser I spoke to, Sam, was very professional, polite and thorough.
