What is Mortgage Protection Life Assurance?
When you apply and are accepted for a mortgage, one of the conditions of your loan will be to ensure you have adequate life assurance to pay off the loan in the event of your death. If you apply for the mortgage on your own then the life cover need only be on your life. However if you apply with someone else then both of you need to be covered.
When taking out Mortgage Protection you can also take out Specified Illness cover. This will ensure that should you contract a serious illness covered by the policy that your mortgage will be paid off.
Can I apply for Mortgage Protection Life Assurance?
If you are applying for a Mortgage, then yes.
Also, if you already have a mortgage, you may need to review your Mortgage Protection Life Cover from a cost basis.
