Things to consider
Mortgage protection insurance is a compulsory part of the mortgage process. To ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible, here are some things to consider.
- Types of cover
There are three main types of life insurance available:
- - Single: Covers one person
- - Joint: Covers two people with one payout
- - Dual: Covers two people and pays out twice
- The right time to apply
The perfect time to apply for mortgage protection is four to six weeks before you intend to draw down your mortgage.
This gives the insurance company enough time to process your application and for any required medical checks to be completed.
- Can I use my life insurance instead?
For most people, mortgage protection will be required.
However, you can use an existing life insurance policy if it is equal to the value of your mortgage and has the same term.

Cooling off period
You can cancel your policy within 30 days of purchasing without penalty.
This is known as the cooling off period. Check your policy's terms and conditions for information on potential fees.
