Mortgage life insurance
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of securing your dream home, a property that ticks every box, somewhere you can see yourself living for the foreseeable future. But, that could be taken away from you at a moment’s notice. If the worst were to happen, could you keep up with mortgage payments? Would your family be able to take on the burden? There’s no guarantees, which is why a number of homeowners turn to life mortgage life insurance.
At Everest Mortgages, we help you understand how mortgage life insurance works, what type of cover suits your home and budget, and how to secure a policy that works for you.

What is mortgage life insurance?
Mortgage life insurance is designed to pay off your outstanding mortgage balance if you die during the term of the policy. The money from the policy is intended to clear any remaining mortgage debt, remove the risk of repossession, allow your partner or family to stay in the property, and reduce financial stress.
There are a few different types of mortgage life insurance, but a number of homeowners opt for decreasing term life insurance. With this cover, the payout reduces gradually over time, and the decline usually reflects your decreasing mortgage balance. If anything happens to you, your family can use the payout to clear the mortgage in full, rather than struggling to keep on top of unaffordable repayments. Level term life insurance is also an option, which pays a fixed amount throughout the policy.

Should you get mortgage life insurance?
Though lenders don’t require it, most homeowners choose mortgage life insurance because it protects the people who matter most. How would your partner or children continue paying the mortgage? Could they keep the home on a single income, or no income at all? Would they be forced to sell during an already difficult time? For many families, the mortgage is their biggest financial commitment, which is why having cover in place can remove a huge potential burden.
Mortgage life insurance with a medical condition
Having a pre-existing medical condition won’t stop you from getting mortgage life insurance, and a diagnosis is unlikely to prevent you from being approved for a policy. Your mortgage life insurance options will depend on your medical history, the treatment you’ve received, current medication, long-term management and the insurer’s approach. Some insurers specialise in covering certain health conditions, which means choosing the right provider can make a huge difference in price, suitability and the level of cover you receive.
