With individuals now taking on huge mortgages which can be more than five times their salary and a big risk, the need to take out mortgage payment protection insurance has never been greater warns Managing Director of British Insurance, Simon Burgess. However faith in all payment protection has dropped since the investigation into the sector began in 2005. Yet despite this it can still work as it was intended to work by providing a tax free sum of money.
British Insurance are a standalone specialist who only sells quality payment protection products which have won many awards, and regularly feature in the media’s ‘Best Buy’ tables. Taking out a policy from them to protect your mortgage would mean you would not be left struggling when it came to finding the much needed income each month to continue meeting the commitments of your mortgage.
Mortgage payment protection could begin to provide the policy holder with an income once they had been unable to attend work for between 30 days. Policies from other providers could ask you are unfit for work for up to 90 days. Once the payout had begun then it would continue to provide for the individual for between 12 months with British Insurance. Other providers could extend this for up to 24 months but you can expect to pay more for the premiums.
Mortgage payment protection cover can be taken out with unemployment by such as redundancy in mind. It can also be taken to guard against being incapable of working due to accident and illness. However there are certain exclusions which could stop the individual from being suitable to take out the cover. General exclusions include being retired, self-employed, suffering an on going illness or not being in full time employment. Providers can add in others so checking the terms and conditions of a policy before buying are imperative.
