I've been in that position recently too. I had to go through a meeting and have all the critical illness blurb thrown at me. Having been on the other side of the desk, so to speak, I was able to direct things back to just what I needed..that insurance the bank insist on you having for the mortgage.
"That's great, I understand the need for that but for the moment I just want the *insert your requirement here*...perhaps you could give me a ring in 6-8 weeks to discuss everything else I might need" was the line I used..and it worked.
In 6-8 weeks once I'm in my house they can try and sell me whatever the heck they want!
Any insurance bod I spoke to was able to tell me what insurance I required to keep the bank happy.
Hope it all works out for you.
