What is mortgage life insurance and why do I need it?
Mortgage life insurance is a policy designed to pay off your outstanding mortgage in the event of your death.
How does it work?
- Choose the term of cover e.g. 30, 25 or 20 years. You may want to consider the term of your mortgage.
- Typically cheaper than a normal life insurance policy as the sum insured decreases as you pay off your mortgage balance.
- Ensures your loved ones have one less thing to worry about in the event of your death

Why do I need mortgage life cover?
