Acceptance and qualifying periods
OneFamily over 50s premiums are competitively priced, typically in the mid-range compared to other providers. Costs vary based on age, smoking status, gender, and cover amount. Premiums are fixed and never increase throughout your lifetime.
Example monthly costs for £5,000 cover:
Age
Non-Smoker
Smoker
50
£12-18
£18-28
60
£18-28
£28-42
70
£35-50
£55-80
80
£70-100
£110-150
Example monthly costs for £10,000 cover:
Age
Non-Smoker
Smoker
50
£20-30
£32-48
60
£32-50
£50-75
70
£65-95
£100-150
80
£130-190
£200-280
Some over-50s products do not ask medical questions, but acceptance remains subject to the provider's stated age, residency and other eligibility criteria.
A qualifying period may apply before full cover begins. Check its length, how death during that period is treated and what amount would be payable under the current policy terms.
No Cash Value
If you cancel the policy, there's no cash value or refund of premiums paid. The policy only pays out on death, making it purely protection insurance, not a savings product. Once you start paying, you're committed to continuing or losing all value.

Prices are indicative. OneFamily is competitively priced but not always the cheapest. Shorter qualifying period (12 months) with L&G/Aviva may offer better value despite slightly higher premiums.
OneFamily premiums are mid-range - not the cheapest (SunLife often beats them), but competitive compared to major brands. The ethical approach and mutual structure are the key differentiators, not rock-bottom pricing.
Premiums and policy terms
The personalised premium depends on age, smoking status, chosen cover and the provider's current pricing.
For cover intended to continue for life, total premiums may exceed the benefit amount. Compare the total potential premiums with the cover and check what happens if payments stop.
Any discretionary bonus, membership benefit or investment policy can change. Check current details and conditions at the original source rather than treating them as guaranteed.
How LifePro can help
LifePro can compare the policies available from its insurer panel, including eligibility, cover, exclusions, qualifying periods and personalised premiums.
There is no broker fee or obligation to buy. If a policy starts, the insurer pays LifePro commission.
It is a whole-of-life product intended to pay a cash benefit when a valid claim meets the policy terms. Check current eligibility, cover limits, qualifying periods and exclusions.
Will I need to answer medical questions?
Check the current application requirements. A product described as guaranteed acceptance remains subject to its stated age, residency and other eligibility criteria.
