A mortgage protection UK policy could help you to keep your home

A  mortgage protection UK policy could help you to keep your home if you were to become unemployed due to such as being made redundant or if you suffer an illness or an accident that means you are unable to work. In either of these cases you might have to wait many months for recovery of to find work and during that time you would be struggling with a loss of income. Not many individuals are lucky enough to get full sick pay and those that do find it does not last for very long. While mortgage lenders can be patient if you get into arrears and cannot afford to pay back then you are risking losing your home to repossession.

You can take out a mortgage protection UK policy by insuring a portion of the repayment which would be agreed at the time of taking the cover and then claim this back if you were to lose your own income. The money that you received would go a long way to helping you keep up the mortgage repayments and not fall behind into arrears.

Just by missing a single payment of the mortgage you are risking a downward spiral. The lender would send out a letter and if you do not catch up and continue to miss payments then next step would be to go in and see the mortgage lender and you would have to assure them and make an agreement to catch up on arrears and continue paying the repayments. Without an income coming into the home this would be very hard to do if not impossible and the next stage would see the mortgage lender starting proceedings to take your home. For just a small premium each month with a standalone provider you could avoid all of this.

British Insurance offer savings on a  mortgage protection UK policy of up to 40% compared to what is offered by the High Street banks and lenders. You would be able to put a claim in once you have stood to the first 30 days of unemployment or from being incapacitated and they would then back pay on the benefit to day one of you becoming unemployed or from being unable to work. You would then have 12 months in which to recover or find another position before the policy would end. While this is usually ample time, if you shop around you might find another provider that could extend the payments to as much as 24 months. However you would need to look at the small print of the policy because providers might ask that you remain unemployed or unable to work for anything up to the 90th day before you are then eligible to make a claim.
