Below, we’ve listed important insurance policies to consider when thinking of purchasing a home.
As expected, these particular insurance policies will be able to cover mortgage payments if you are too ill to work, or you are made redundant.
These insurance policies cover your income should you miss days off work due to illness. Bear in mind that insurance policies will vary and only some income could be covered, so be sure to check the maximum percentage that is able to be paid prior to choosing a policy.
It is advised to those with a mortgage to acquire life assurance (insurance) also. There should be enough to cover an outstanding loan.
