Critical Illness Cover

This plan normally has the benefit of covering the mortgage amount on diagnosis of a critical illness. It is paid out by a lump sum and you have the option to combine this cover with level or decreasing term life assurance cover. Most of our insurers cover up to 28 illnesses, most common ones are cancer, heart attacks and strokes.

Building & Contents Cover

Buildings & Contents cover is available to existing and new borrowers. Tenants are able to take out contents cover only.
If your Building and/or contents are damaged by fire, flood or heave and subsidence you should be covered as these are normally included in the standard policy conditions amongst others however you should refer to your terms and conditions and familiarise yourself with the hazards you are covered for.
When the time comes to renewing a policy you may be entitled to a discount if you have made no claims.

Accident, Sickness & Unemployment

In the event of an accident, sickness or involuntary unemployment you will still be liable to make your mortgage payments as well as any buildings & contents payments and any other insurance linked to your home.
Think what would you do if any of the above occurred, how would you ensure that you made the payments?
Well, by taking out a Mortgage Payment Protection Plan it can cover a high percentage of your mortgage for twelve to twenty four months and by this it would give you peace of mind and less stress. Another advantage of this is that your credit file will remain clean. Unemployment cover is not yet available.
