Mortgage Protection Insurance      Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance

Mortgage protection insurance is a type of term life insurance policy that protects your family if you should die before you have repaid your mortgage. In this situation the insurance company will repay any remaining mortgage balance. The mortgage lender often requires mortgage protection insurance before they will grant the mortgage.

The term of a mortgage protection insurance policy will normally coincide with the term of the mortgage. You will usually pay a monthly amount that is pre-defined at the commencement of the policy.

You will need to think about the amount of cover you require. The amount of mortgage insurance protection you require will be linked to your mortgage balance that may vary over the term of the mortgage. Mortgage protection insurance is packaged to take into account your expected circumstances.

If you have a repayment mortgage, the amount of mortgage protection insurance required will reduce over the mortgage term as the mortgage is repaid. As an alternative, you may wish to consider the relative costs and benefits of a fixed amount of life insurance. This way your family will receive additional amounts to cover other expected costs.

If you have an interest only mortgage, you may wish to insure the full amount of your mortgage for the entire mortgage term. Alternatively, you may wish to take account of other factors such as investments or endowments that may be available to pay off all or some of your mortgage.

Mortgage protection insurance should not be confused with Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance that protects you in the event of you being unable to make your mortgage payments if, for example, you become unemployment, sick or disabled. Here you will pay a monthly amount and the insurance company will pay your monthly mortgage payments for a pre-defined period should any one of the covered events occur. Mortgage payment protection insurance can be taken out at the time of your mortgage or later as you consider it to be appropriate and the amount you have to pay will depend mainly upon the breadth of circumstances covered and the size of your monthly mortgage repayments.
