Life insurance for mortgage holders
You could consider taking out life, or life and critical illness insurance alongside your mortgage. These covers are designed to offer some financial protection against the unexpected. Your loved ones would receive a lump-sum payment if you died and, depending on your cover, could receive a lump sum if you were diagnosed with a critical illness, which could help repay your mortgage.
