What is Mortgage Protection Insurance and why you need it?

Mortgage protection insurance is a type of term life insurance. If you’ve heard of decreasing life cover, you’ve probably heard of mortgage protection insurance – it’s another name for the same product.

Usually, over time, your mortgage goes down. If you have a smaller mortgage, you need less cover – so mortgage protection cover also decreases over time. That’s why it’s also known as decreasing life cover.

The purpose of mortgage protection insurance is to protect the asset you have a loan on – your home. So, if you were to pass away before you finished paying off your mortgage and during the policy term, your loved ones would be able to continue living in the home, because the insurance would help pay off the rest of the loan.

With this sort of policy, you pay the same premiums for the policy term, and the value of your policy gradually reduces until it reaches £0 once the policy expires – and decreases in line with your mortgage (or other repayment loan). A benefit of decreasing cover, as opposed to level or increasing cover, is that the value of the policy is enough to repay the loan, and the premium is usually lower than for other types of cover.
