Mortgage Protection Cover is a life policy that decreases in line with your mortgage. It is the most basic type of life cover that you can have. It means that your mortgage is always covered if you die.
Many brokers will claim to offer ‘whole of market,’ but that may just mean that they offer every kind of product, but that they are all from the same insurer. Independent means that we can offer every kind of product from every insurer.
Sometimes it seems that there are almost as many financial advisors as there are financial products. Why should you choose us. We think there are many reasons of course, but among the most important are the following:
This last is perhaps the most important. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If we did not give our customers great service, they simply would not return.

No, it is not a legal requirement. Legally, the only insurance mandated to secure a UK mortgage is buildings insurance. However, many lenders stipulate mortgage life cover as a mandatory condition in their formal lending criteria.
Firstly, Mortgage Life Insurance (Decreasing Term): the payout value decreases over time, explicitly tracking your reducing repayment mortgage balance. It is the cheapest option. Secondly, Level Term Life Insurance: the payout remains fixed. This is ideal for interest-only mortgages where the principal loan debt never drops. Thirdly, Critical Illness Cover: provides a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specific medical condition listed in your policy documents (e.g., stroke, heart attack, or cancer). Lastly, Income Protection / MPPI: pays a monthly percentage of your earnings or a set cash amount if an injury, long-term illness, or redundancy leaves you unable to work.
The coverage usually matches the exact remaining timeline of your home loan (e.g., a 25-year policy term for a 25-year mortgage).
They are entirely different products. Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) was historically attached to various short-term personal loans and paid funds directly to the lender. Mortgage protection covers home loan debt specifically, and monthly claims are paid straight to you so you can control how funds are distributed.
