Could your mortgage still be paid if you couldn't work?
Most homeowners insure their property against unexpected events such as fire, flooding or accidental damage. Yet many overlook the thing that makes every mortgage payment possible in the first place: their income.
If illness or injury prevented you from working for an extended period, how would your household cope with ongoing financial commitments?
For many families, mortgage payments represent one of their largest monthly expenses. While some employers offer sickness benefits, the level and duration of support can vary considerably from one workplace to another.
This is where protection products such as income protection, critical illness cover and life insurance may play an important role. These policies are designed to provide financial support in specific circumstances and can help create a safety net when it may be needed most.
Protection should not be viewed as a one-off purchase. Mortgage balances, incomes and family responsibilities can all change over time, which means existing arrangements may no longer reflect your current needs.
Taking time to review your protection alongside your mortgage can help ensure both continue to work together effectively.
If you’ve not reviewed your protection arrangements recently, now may be a good opportunity to consider whether they still provide the reassurance you’re looking for.
