Mortgage life insurance necessary

Mon, 16 Apr 2007

According to recent reports, the range of insurance policies offered with a mortgage are more complex than ever before, and deciding which one, or ones, to prioritise is all down to affordability.

Insurance policies offered with a mortgage loan include critical illness cover, income protection insurance, and mortgage payment protection insurance… not to mention life insurance . David Hollingworth, a mortgage broker with London and Country, reportedly commented: "You could say buyers need all of these types of cover, but it's a question of affordability. Most people will be unable to afford the premiums and will need to prioritise."

If you are buying with a partner, or have children, life insurance may well be at the top of your priority list. Different types of life cover are available, including level term and decreasing term policies that offer different types of premium payment.

Other options include critical illness cover and income protection insurance. Income protection pays out if you cannot work, provided the reason does not involve something that is excluded from cover. Income protection does have a flaw – it only pays out for the length of time you cannot work for.
