What is life assurance?
It’s easy to forget about it when you’re setting up in a new home, but insurance to protect your mortgage in the event of your death is a vital precaution. Should the worst happen, a mortgage protection life assurance policy will pay out if you have not yet finished paying your mortgage, so your house will not be at risk.

Working out what’s best for you
The type of life assurance you might need will vary according to your circumstances. The most common type is decreasing term life cover, where the level of cover usually reflects what is left to pay on the mortgage in question. Another option available is level term, which pays out a set lump sum in the event of your death within an agreed fixed term.
