Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. In recognition of this, mortgage lenders now insist that you purchase Mortgage Protection Insurance to safeguard your investment.
Mortgage Protection is a life insurance policy that pays off your mortgage, if you or your partner dies, during the term of the policy. The policy has a term identical to your mortgage and the benefits reduce as the balance on your mortgage decreases.
In general, mortgage protection is a condition of a mortgage loan and is assigned to your lender. Sometimes mortgage protection insurance is known as mortgage life insurance, because on death, the sum insured is paid to your lender, leaving your family home debt free.
While we all like to think “it will never happen to me” a death can create significant financial issues that affect your family during a very difficult time. In fact, a 2017 Aviva survey found 22% of the population had found themselves in this very situation, forcing a third into debt and another third to leave their homes. The main purpose of mortgage protection insurance is to provide your family with financial security in the event of your death, providing financial support and a stable home base when it is needed most.
