London & Country partners with UnderwriteMe

UnderwriteMe lets intermediaries get quick quotes and underwritten prices, while applications can be made to a range of insurers using one application process.

Phil Jeynes, head of sales & marketing at UnderwriteMe, said: “L&C is recognised as being at the forefront of good Protection advice and has always been committed to offering well-tailored protection solutions to their mortgage clients.

“To have L&C make UnderwriteMe an integral part of their sales process is another great step forward for the market as a whole, as we move towards a better experience for intermediaries and customers alike.”

Michael Aldridge, sales director at London & Country, added: “We expect this to be the start of a long and rewarding partnership.”

UndewriteMe piloted its service with LifeSearch in August, while it will be on general release to directly authorised intermediaries in 2016.

Seven insurers are committed to using the service: LV=, Royal London, Canada Life, Partnership, Scottish Friendly, Exeter Family Friendly and Old Mutual Wealth.
