Find out about our Protection Insurance offering, and the differences between the products.
Life Insurance could be taken out to cover a mortgage debt. If you die before your mortgage term ends, your chosen beneficiaries will receive a lump sum they can use to pay off the outstanding amount on your mortgage, giving them one less thing to deal with at a time of high stress and ensuring they can continue to live in the home when you’re gone. It can be taken out as a tax-free lump sum, or as an annual income replacement known as a Family Income Benefit (FIB).
Critical Illness Insurance covers you should you succumb to a serious illness (definitions vary from policy to policy), giving you a one-off lump sum, which dependent on the level of cover you choose, you could use to redeem your mortgage in full, part or to simply provide a significant financial boost when you most need it. It doesn’t matter whether you are still able to work or not, your cover will be paid regardless.
If you’re unable to work, for example through illness, Income Protection Benefit (IPB) will pay you a tax-free salary until you return to work. The advantages of IPB are straightforward: you can receive up to 60 percent of your salary tax-free every month, ensuring you are able to cover your mortgage and other monthly outgoings. There are also low-cost options available, which run for two years.
