protect yourself and your family
Many standard mortgages do not have any protection insurance included, so it’s important to decide what kind of separate coverage you will need. There are several different types of mortgage protection, and thousands of different offers from over 150 UK companies - so it can be confusing! Searching the whole market, First Mortgage will find the very best deal for you.
Mortgage protection comes in several forms. It’s a type of insurance that gives you the security of knowing that in the event of illness, redundancy or even death your mortgage repayments will be paid. Most people do not think about what will happen if they weren’t able to pay their mortgage repayments, but it’s an important question to ask.
What kinds of mortgage protection policies are there?
There are many different types of protection plan, some incorporating several different areas of insurance. The main ones are:
Mortgage life assurance - a guarantee that allows outstanding repayments to be fully paid off in the event of death. Dependents will not have the mortgage passed on to them.
Term life insurance - this covers the holder for a set period of time, often with premiums increasing over the course of the term
Mortgage payment protection - usually covers disability and unemployment for a set number of days
Accident, sickness, unemployment cover - similar to payment protection, but with specific accident and sickness cover
Buildings and contents insurance - though not strictly mortgage protection, you will want to protect the property asset in which you have invested against damage or theft
Income protection - this cover helps you maintain a monthly income in the event of accidental injury of sickness
