Life Insurance
Q) What type of life insurance do you offer?
A) Mortgage Protection - the sum assured is reduced during the term of the policy. The policy can be arranged on a single or joint life basis. The premium is agreed at the start of the policy and remains unchanged during the term of the policy (The first Year is discounted)
Q) How can you arrange such cheap mortgage protection insurance?
A) We refund up to 50% of the commission to the customer which reduces the first years premium by this amount. The monthly or yearly premium for all subsequent years is charged at the full rate.
Q) How do I pay the premium?
A) The first years premium will be paid by cheque or bank draft for the full years premium less the commission rebate and subsequent years will be paid either monthly or yearly by direct debit.
Q) Do I need Mortgage Protection?
A) Anyone who is buying a house will be required by their Mortgage Provider to arrange a Mortgage Protection Policy. The minimum amount that the provider will require is the amount outstanding on your mortgage, but you can choose a higher amount if necessary (certain classes of people may be able to avoid having to have life cover for a mortgage e.g. over 50's. landlords etc. please check with your mortgage provider).
Q) What are the options for who is covered by my policy?
A) There are two options available - A Single Life policy only covers one person (the insured). A Joint Life policy covers two people. This policy will pay benefits on the first death of either insured person and the policy then ceases.
Q) Can a mortgage protection policy be extended to give additional covers.
A) Yes you can choose the option of including serious illness cover (this means that the policy will pay out in respect of a claim where a specified serious illness is diagnosed).
