What Is Mortgage Protection
Insurance?

If you get too sick or injured to work, mortgage protection insurance offers you monthly income, allowing you to continue to pay your bills and cover your repayments. That way, should you find yourself temporarily out of work, your pay-outs will ensure that you get to hold on to your family’s home.

Mortgage Protection Insurance

Taking out cover for Mortgage Protection Insurance helps protect your home from personal bankruptcy or a mortgagee sale. Some insurers also offer optional redundancy cover, which will keep you protected if a future recession hits and you lose your job. If you know that you would struggle to keep your home from being repossessed if you were unable to work, mortgage insurance could help you from losing your hard-earned home.

You can still take out Mortgage Protection Insurance even if you don’t actually have a mortgage! There are also policies dependant on your income rather than your mortgage repayments. This means that if something were to happen and you were unable to keep working, your policy payouts could help you survive by covering your everyday living costs.

Wouldn’t ACC Cover Me?

ACC only covers you for accident- and injury-related claims - but not illnesses such as cancer.or Covid 19. This means that if you were to fall sick or be injured outside of work, you wouldn’t be covered.

What’s more, some mortgage insurance plans will pay out even if you are getting compensation from ACC, helping take even more financial strain off your shoulders.

It’s Important To Choose The Right Policy

All policies have exceptions and exclusions. It’s important to assess what the best options for your circumstances are, as the wrong cover can end up costing you significantly in the long term. For instance, you’ll want to make sure you choose a plan that adequately covers your monthly repayments.
