Explanation:

 

Mortgage Life Insurance (also known as Mortgage Protection Cover) is used with a Repayment Mortgage . As your mortgage is paid off over time, the amount of cover you need goes down with it, so you only pay for the cover you need. To keep the price down, all the money you pay is used to provide the cover for you. This means that you won't get any money back if you decide to cancel the policy. It also means you can't ever 'cash in' this type of policy. If you have an Interest only mortgage or you want extra cover, then Level Term Life Insurance may be better for you. If you are not sure what type of cover you need, please contact the SmartMole team.

 

Jargon explained:

With mortgage life insurance, you can choose your level of protection: Life Cover provides cover for the duration of your mortgage and will pay a cash sum to clear your mortgage if you die. Critical Illness Cover provides cover for the duration of your mortgage and will pay a cash sum to clear your mortgage if you suffer a critical illness such as cancer or heart attack. The policies arranged by SmartMole cover a wide range of illnesses. For complete peace of mind, combine Life Cover and Critical Illness Cover in one simple policy.

If you are not sure what type of policy you need, please contact the SmartMole team.

What else is it called?

Mortgage protection is also known as -

  • Mortgage payment protection
  • Mortgage payment cover

 

What other types are there?

You can also choose -

Income Protection - Health insurance is important if you are unable to work through accident, illness or injury - Income Protection cover will give you an income for as long as necessary. This is especially important if you are the main earner. You can use the money to pay bills, your mortgage payments or for anything else you want - just as you can with your own salary. If you just want enough to cover your mortgage payments then Accident, Sickness & Unemployment Cover may be better for you. If you can't ever return to work, Income Protection goes on paying you until the age you would have retired anyway.

This insurance is sometimes called Permanent Health Insurance (PHI) because it is a form of health insurance. It can pay you a regular monthly income if you are unable to work due to accident or sickness. It does NOT provide protection against unemployment (accident, sickness and unemployment -ASU- cover may be more appropriate if you want unemployment cover). SmartMole can provide both these types of cover.

Accident, sickness & unemployment cover provides a monthly payment if you have an accident, become sick or are made unemployed. It is designed to help you get back on your feet after a set back, with benefit payable for typically up to a year.
