Mortgage Protection

Mortgage Protection is a kind of Term Assurance specifically designed to repay, on death, during the term, the amount outstanding on a 'capital and interest' repayment mortgage. In other words, if the policyholder(s) die prematurely, the outstanding loan amount on the mortgage can be repaid in full.

Some policies have rider benefits, which are extra sorts of cover, added on to the principal life cover. Such benefits include:

  • Waiver of premium benefit - the premiums are in effect paid for you in the event of defined incapacity due to illness
  • Accident, Sickness and Unemployment benefit - Accident, sickness and unemployment (ASU) insurance provides financial protection if you are unable to work as a result of an accident or ill health, or in the event that you become unemployed through no fault of your own.
  • Critical illness cover - the benefit is paid before death on the diagnosis of life shortening disease (e.g. cancer). This benefit may replace the death benefit, or it may be paid as well

 

All these riders cost extra and are only paid subject to meeting specific criteria.
