Mortgage Protection Cover

Whether you are a home owner or a first time buyer, at some time you will have heard of the phrase 'mortgage protection cover'. The term can often be confusing. Mortgage protection cover is often referred to as mortgage payment protection, income protection cover, mortgage protection policy or mortgage protection insurance. All of which still leave many ordinary people confused as to what it covers and why they would need it anyway.

In our experience the term generally refers to mortgage life cover, this is form of protection which provides a tax free lump sum should you die during the term of mortgage. Many people might consider a policy that pays out once you have died as a waste of money, and in some cases they might be right. However if you have a family that relies on your earning capacity as the main bread winner this is not likely the case. How would your loved ones manage if you were no longer around to pay the day to day bills?

To some people, mortgage protection cover can also mean income protection insurance. This comprises of a totally different type of mortgage protection. Have you ever considered whether an accident or illness which may not be fatal could affect your ability to work and provide for you and your dependents?

Income protection insurance could provide much needed peace of mind by providing you with a tax free regular income if an accident or illness prevents you from working. The cost of this cover depends primarily on your occupation, age and estimated retirement age.
