What is Mortgage Insurance?

Mortgage insurance, which is sometimes referred to as mortgage payment protection insurance or MPPI, is a type of policy that provides policyholders with mortgage payment support. It can help someone pay their monthly mortgage repayments if their usual income changes unexpectedly.

Here's what typical mortgage insurance policies cover in the UK:

• Unemployment: MPPI can cover mortgage payments if the policyholder becomes involuntarily unemployed. This coverage usually kicks in after a specified waiting period.
• Accident or sickness: It provides coverage if the policyholder is unable to work due to an accident or a sickness that prevents them from earning an income.
• Disability: In the event of a long-term disability that makes the policyholder unable to work and earn an income, MPPI can cover mortgage payments.
• Redundancy: If the policyholder is made redundant, MPPI can cover mortgage payments for a defined period. The waiting period before the coverage begins will vary depending on the policy.
• Death: Some policies may include a death benefit that pays off the remaining mortgage balance in the event of the policyholder's death.
• Hospitalisation: In certain cases, if the policyholder is hospitalised and unable to work, MPPI can cover mortgage payments.
