Mortgage Protection is a life insurance policy which pays out a lump sum of money in the event of death and/or being diagnosed with a specified critical illness. This money can be used to fully repay your outstanding mortgage.
If you or your financial dependents would suffer financially in the event of the mortgage payer’s death or critical illness then probably, yes.
That depends. Some people will use their work’s life cover (also know as Death in Service Benefit) to ensure that their mortgage would be repaid or reduced in the event of their death. Others prefer to have a policy set-up independently from their workplace so as to ensure that if they change jobs or retire, they still have a policy in place specifically designed to protect their mortgage.
We would look at your existing provision to confirm its suitability for your current needs and make recommendations accordingly.
How would your mortgage payments be maintained in the event of your death or suffering with a critical illness such as a heart attack, stroke or cancer?
Do you want to ensure that financial dependents can remain in your family home in the event of your death or suffering a critical illness?
We recommend Mortgage Protection to individuals and couples for whom a need has been identified. We understand that when you’re young and healthy the last thing you might imagine is premature death or suffering a critical illness. The reality is that people rarely diarise a time to die. To put it another way, you wouldn’t expect to buy a new car insurance policy after a car crash and expect them to accept a claim.
For mortgage protection we typically recommend protecting all borrowers for the amount and term of the mortgage. For example, a £300,000 mortgage for 20 years could be protected by a Mortgage Protection Policy with a sum assured of £300,000 and a policy term of 20 years.
The cost of life insurance is typically cheaper when one is younger and in good health. As we get older and start to have more medical complications, the cost tends to rise. Contact us today for a no obligation indication on cost.
We do not usually charge a fee for advice and arranging an insurance product. We will receive a commission from the insurer and this is reflected in the premium amount you pay them. All commissions would be disclosed to you before agreeing to proceed.
