Mortgage Payment Protection
One of the most common protection options people choose as the mortgage payments are the largest monthly commitment
Also known as Accident, Sickness and Unemployment cover (ASU), provides cover in the event of illness, for your mortgage payments.
Most mortgages have no cover included so it is important to consider insurance and protection yourself to ensure you are able to meet your financial commitments whatever happens.
Income Protection
Income protection provides cover for your essential repayments if you are unable to work through accident or sickness
Without any cover you would be reliant on state benefits to cover your outgoings and this alone is unlikely to be sufficient to cover your basic outgoings. The cover provides a tax free monthly payment until your return back to work.

Life insurance
Life insurance provides an amount of money either as a lump sum or a monthly payment in the event of death. This gives you the peace of mind knowing that loved ones will be provided for should you die. There are many different options available and we will discuss your needs to find the right cover for you.
The two most common forms of life insurance are either level term or decreasing term. The level term cover provides a set amount of cover over a chosen term, decreasing cover has an amount which reduces over the term of the policy and is usually in place to cover a mortgage with a balance that is also reducing
