Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance pays your monthly mortgage repayment if you were off work due to sickness, accident, or unemployment.

Mortgage Insurance Guarantee (MIG) is an insurance you pay if you have borrowed over 90% of the value of your house. It repays the capital you borrowed directly to your mortgage lender if you were to default on your mortgage. In that context it is there to protect the lender and not you!

It is important to understand that MIG does not remove your liability to repay the money outstanding to your mortgage lender – they will still pursue you for the money outstanding whether or not they have been able to claim under a Mortgage Insurance Guarantee.
