  • Life insurance: To cover the cost of paying off your mortgage, if you die before it is paid off.
  • Critical illness cover: To help cover the cost of paying off your mortgage if you get diagnosed with a life changing condition.
  • Income protection: To help cover your mortgage payments each month if you are unable to work due to an accident, sickness or redundancy.
