What is it?
Our Monthly mortgage repayment cover gives you peace of mind that your mortgage is covered for up to 45% of your gross income, 115% of your usual mortgage repayments or 115% of your usual rent payments. You can even choose how long you’d like the payments to last from 2 years, 5 years or to age 65.
Why should you get it?
Well, the debts and bills don't stop even if you have to because of illness or injury. To get you back on your feet and earning again, this cover can also help with things like rehabilitation.
What’s the deal?
You pay an amount of money (called a ‘premium’) for a policy. The policy is a contract so you know exactly what we’ll pay out for. If you keep paying for your insurance with us, and the policy terms and conditions have been met, we’ll pay out for everything we agreed.
Anything else?
If your mortgage repayments increase, you could increase the value of your cover any time before the age of 50 without needing to give us medical evidence (check out the Monthly mortgage repayment info sheet for details as there are a few conditions). (You can apply to increase your cover at any time up to age 59 though, but we may need to do health and financial checks.)
