What Is Mortgage Protection?

Your mortgage is likely your biggest financial commitment—and your home, your family’s most important asset. Mortgage protection insurance ensures your mortgage is paid if you die or become seriously ill before it’s repaid.

For doctors with busy careers, long hours, and families to support, it’s essential peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Mortgage Protection Questions

Find quick answers to common questions using our helpful FAQs.

How Does It Work?

Mortgage protection is a form of life insurance (and optionally critical illness cover) that pays a lump sum to clear your mortgage if:

 

  • You die during the mortgage term, or
  • You are diagnosed with a critical illness (if added)

 

Depending on your mortgage, we’ll recommend either

Level Term Insurance

For repayment mortgages—the payout stays the same throughout the policy term.

Decreasing Term Insurance

For repayment mortgages where the amount owed reduces over time—these are often more affordable.

Family Income Benefit (optional)

Instead of a lump sum, your family receives monthly payments if you pass away—helping cover living costs over time.

How Much Does It Cost?

Mortgage protection is one of the most affordable types of life cover—especially when taken out while you’re young and healthy. Factors that affect the cost:

  • Loan amount
  • Mortgage term
  • Whether you add critical illness cover
  • Your age, health, and lifestyle
  • Joint or single policy
What if I already have a policy?

It might be time to review it if:

  • You’ve moved home or remortgaged
  • You’ve had children or taken on more financial responsibility
  • You arranged it years ago and aren’t sure what’s included
  • You’re paying too much or have outdated cover

Request a policy review to ensure your protection is still fit for purpose.

Why Doctors need Mortgage Protection?

Whether you’re a junior doctor just getting on the property ladder or a consultant with a large home loan, mortgage protection gives you long-term security. It ensures that:

  • Your family can stay in the home if the worst happens
  • The outstanding mortgage is cleared on death or critical illness
  • You don’t leave loved ones with large debts
  • It complements your income protection and life insurance policies

 

We help doctors get the right mortgage protection policy to match their mortgage type, loan term, and personal circumstances.
