Secure your home. Protect your family.
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.
At Doctors Mortgages, we specialise in insurance for medical professionals. We understand NHS and private income, know your career path and risks, and work with insurers who cater specifically to doctors. Our goal is to find you the most cost-effective cover, with policies that offer flexible features like premium freeze, policy conversion, and waiver of premium, ideal for doctors with changing circumstances.

Real-World Example
Took out a joint mortgage of £450,000. After securing a joint decreasing term policy, they now know that their mortgage will be cleared if either of them passes away during the mortgage term. They also added critical illness cover for added protection.

Thom Hughes2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David has helped us to secure the mortgage on our first property. He has been so helpful, with great advice about the mortgage and lots of other aspects of the buying process. He has been available for chats throughout the last few months, answering calls immediately, and responding to emails late into the evenings. Specifically taking into account our jobs and circumstances to find the simplest and best deal for us. Accounting for doctor contracts and fluctuant hours, which many providers cannot seem to cope with. David's advice saved us money, time and stress. We couldn't recommend him more highly, we shall go back to him once our first fixed term is over. Joshua Wang2024-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David has provided possibly the best service we could have possibly asked for. He was immediately accessible, clear and answered all of our questions. He was supportive with out complex employment and financial situation. When we needed to get a new mortgage in principle in the last minute, David got us one within the hour. When we needed to last minute change solicitors he sorted it out without issue. When our initial bank denied us a mortgage David got us a better deal with a new bank within the day. I cannot recommend his services highly enough to all doctors looking for a mortgage broker James Parkinson2024-07-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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)

At Doctors Mortgages, we specialise in insurance for medical professionals. That means:
