CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP US? WE HAVE JUST BOUGHT A PROPERTY IN CARVOEIRO. WE NOW NEED TO SORT OUT LIFE INSURANCE AS WE'RE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO DO THIS FROM ENGLAND. CAN ANYONE TELL US WHICH INSURANCE COMPANIES DEAL WITH LIFE INSURANCE FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN ENGLAND (CHANNEL ISLANDS) AND WHO HAVE BOUGHT PROPERTY IN PORTUGAL.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. TRACEY

If it just straight forward life insurance that you need, why does it matter that you have property in Portugal? We have an apartment in Carvoeiro, and just took out another ordinary life insurance policy to cover the extra mortgage.

WE GOT THE MORTGAGE FROM A PORTUGUSE BANK BUT DID THE LIFE INSURANCE WITH NORWICH UNION AT HOME BUT IT WASN'T ACCEPTED BECAUSE NORWICH UNION DONT HAVE OFFICES IN PORTUGAL. I KNOW ITS RIDICULOUS BUT THATS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD. IF WE TAKE OUT INSURANCE WITH A PORTUGUESE COMPANY WE HAVE TO GO FOR COSTLY MEDICALS BEFORE THEY'LL ACCEPT IT AND ITS LIKELY TO TAKE WEEKS. WE'RE BOTH IN OUR MID THIRTIES AND PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
