The Mortgage Story

Protection & General Insurance

Your mortgage is likely to be your largest single expense in your life, so don't forget to insure it

In the UK, people are more likely to insure their pet than they are to take out any form of protection for themselves such as life cover, critical illness cover or income protection. The thought of hefty vet bills is just too much to bear, so it’s worth paying the insurance premiums for our beloved pets right? Well, a mortgage is likely to be your largest single expense in your lifetime and so it is incredibly important to make sure that you and your loved ones are protected in the event of a ‘worst case scenario’. 

We can help to tailor policies to meet your needsand even work to a specific budget

You might be worried that the premiums will be too expensive to keep up with, but we can help to tailor make policies according to your budget and requirements so that you can have peace of mind with the cover of your choice. 

 

Many will rely on cover provided through their employer for example, but in some cases, those policies may not be enough to cover your mortgage, income or general life style expenditure. We can help to arrange policies which are suited to your lifestyle and budget to help to ensure that you have peace of mind and  should you ever require these policies to be paid out, you can rest assured that your loved ones are protected and the financial burden will be lifted.

What Is Protection?

Life

A life insurance policy will pay out a tax-free lump sum if the unsured passes away. This can help to clear a mortgage, or help to cover general lifestyle expenditure and commitments. Having a policy in place can help to ease the financial burden on your loved ones should the worst happen. 

Critical Illness

Critical illness policies will pay out a tax-free lump sum should you be diagnosed with a specified illness such as cancer, heart attack or Parkinsons. Being diagnosed with a critical illness can be an extremely upsetting and stressful time, having a policy in place can help to ease some of the stress from a financial aspect. Critical illness cover is often taken in conjunction with a life policy as it can work out to be more cost effective to have both policies together. 

Income Protection

Income protection policies will pay out a tax-free monthly payment should you be unable to work due to accident or illness. This can help you to stay on top of  mortgage payments, bills or even your general expenditure if you’re unable to work. 


Most employers will only offer a certain number of months at full pay if you’re off work, however, this could then drop to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) after a period of time, which is currently £109.70 per week. It’s important to make sure you’ve considered all of your options to ensure that you have an adequate amount of cover based on your needs.

Personal and Business Protection FAQs

I don't have a mortgage, can I still take out protection policies?

Absolutely, you don't need to have a mortgage in order to take out a personal protection policy. Even if you are renting your home, it is advisable to take out these policies as you may lose your home if you cannot keep up with your rental payments, so in order to protect yourself in the worst case scenario, you should consider your cover. 

What if I only have a small budget that I can set aside?

Policies can be tailored to meet your requirements, so if you have a budget in mind then we can try to work with this in order to provide some level of cover for you. 

It's important to note that depending on the budget, you may not be fully covered. But we will review any cover that you might already have through your employer or privately and we will always provide quotes for the required cover to compare this against the cover achieved with a specific budget. 

What if I only take a small salary and a low amount of dividends as the profit is retained in the company?

A lot of directors of Ltd companies operate in this way, some directors will take a smaller salary to be more tax efficient and then they make up the rest of their earnings in dividends. In some cases, directors won't drawdown the entire amount of  profits from the company if they don't need it to get by. So on paper, it could look like you're earning a lot less right? Well, there are some lenders who will look at the retained profits in the company and they'll take your share of the profit and add your salary to it and they'll class that as your usable income, meaning that you could potentially borrow considerably more than what you could if it were assessed based on salary and dividends.
