Back in 1999, the Imperial Cancer Research Fund stated that one in every three people in Britain will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life. With rapid medical advances the chances of survival from a major illness are improving but the consequences of suffering such an illness continue to be substantial and life-changing.

Critical illness insurance policies are designed to help you cope with the changes which will be necessary should you be diagnosed with a "qualifying medical condition". Most policies will pay out following a diagnosis of heart disease, cancer, stroke, renal failure, paralysis, major organ transplant and coronary artery bypass surgery as well as a range of other conditions. There is normally a one-off tax free payment which is intended to assist you with costs, typically the need to adapt your home or car or maybe re-train for a different occupation. Its not only the bread-winner that can benefit from this type of cover and you should take account of child care and housekeeping costs which would be involved should Mum be out of action.

According to Land Registry figures, there has been a huge increase in the number homes sold for £1m plus. Despite what youd expect, this hasnt caused the scramble for business youd expect from lenders. Many of them are exercising caution when it comes to the well-heeled mortgage seeker. Surprisingly, the best deals go to the smaller borrower. It seem as if lenders would prefer to lend 10 borrowers £150,000 each rather than one loan of £1.5m, in order to spread the risk.

It is, however, beginning to get easier to get mortgage quotes for high value homes. Recent figures from the Land Registry show a massive increase in the sales of million pound plus properties. (pet insurance)

Over recent years, the cost of moving house has risen at more than twice the rate of house price inflation. The main offender has been stamp duty.

Today, a move from the average semi worth £174,750 to an average detached house costing £293,250, will cost some £12,500. Five years ago the same move would have cost just £4,500. These costs include Land Registry costs, local authority searches, estate agents, solicitors fees, and of course, stamp duty. This means that house moving costs have increased by 176% whilst house prices have themselves risen by 70%.

This increase in home move costs has been greatly influenced by the fact that the average price for a detached house has now burst through the £250,000 level above which stamp duty jumps from 1% to 3%.

For some homeowners, these costs have influenced a decision to stay put and remortgage. Thats one of the reasons why (cheap life insurance)
