Of those people who seek the help of a financial adviser, 22 per cent ask for information regarding life insurance and critical illness cover, research reveals.

Advice on savings and investments were the most popular area which consumers looked to guidance on (52 per cent), while mortgage support was asked for by 39 per cent of individuals, Zurich has discovered.

Pensions and retirement planning is the third most popular area which Britons want advice on, with 38 per cent seeking help on this subject matter.
