Mortgage protection cover

About mortgage protection

Whether you’re buying your first home or refinancing, you must have mortgage protection insurance

Mortgage protection provides a lump sum payment if you die during the term of your mortgage contract.

If you are taking out a new mortgage or remortgaging your home, this type of cover is essential to secure your mortgage with your mortgage provider.

Unlike most types of life insurance, the benefit decreases over the term of the policy, in line with the decreasing capital owed on your mortgage.
