Is Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance the same as a Mortgage Insurance Guarantee?
No. Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance is totally different to a Mortgage Insurance Guarantee.
For how long will the policy continue to pay your mortgage?
The Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance will pay your mortgage for up to 12 months or up to when you return to work, whichever is the sooner.
Will a claim under a Mortgage Payment Protection policy affect any State benefits to which you may be entitled?
No. Whilst you are using Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance to replace your income and meet your monthly mortgage repayments, insurance payouts do not qualify as income in the eyes of the Benefits Agency or the Inland Revenue.
You have an Interest Only Mortgage. What sort of Life Insurance do you need?
You need normal, level cover, Life Insurance.
Should I include Terminal Illness Insurance?
Terminal Illness Insurance is generally included at no extra cost on all Mortgage Life, Life and Critical Illness policies.

Will you have to pay a fee to your mortgage lender if you don’t buy your Life Insurance through them?

No! By law mortgage lenders are not allowed to charge a fee if you choose to shop elsewhere.

Sometimes confusion can arise in this area because mortgage lenders are allowed to charge a fee if you don’t take out your Home Insurance through them – that is the insurance that insures the structure of your home. But as we said above, they are not allowed to charge a fee if you take out your Life Insurance independently and they can easily be 50% more expensive!
