Difficulties obtaining mortgage protection insurance
- If you happen to be self employed insurance for mortgage is difficult because
many companies do not cover this sort of occupation. We do.
- The mortgage protection may not be offered if you are in a family firm insurance companies do not wish to
insure people who have control over their employment for mortgage protection - nevertheless
we can advise that we can. Unemployment is defined as 'cessation of trade'.
- There are greater risks attached to mortgage protection for some
occupations
- Accident and sickness cover is usually offered at the same rate no
matter what occupation you are in.
- Mortgage protection is higher with some
companies for high-risk occupations (It, Financial Services, Tourism and the like)
- We have difficulties if you are behind in your payments.
