Having adequate Mortgage Protection Insurance will ensure that your mortgage is paid off if you pass away during the mortgage term.

Mortgage protection insurance is required by law for anybody under the age of 50 who takes out a residential home mortgage. Some exceptions based on medical grounds are available.

A medical examination is generally not required as part of the mortgage protection insurance application process. Exceptions to this are situations where additional medical evidence is required for underwriting or credit assesment.

Premiums are fixed for the duration of the policy and start at €10 per month.

Understanding your life insurance and mortgage protection needs.

Most home buyers opt to take out the minimum level of protection cover in order to satisfy the standard loan offer condition of having a mortgage protection policy in place prior to drawdown. We will advise you fully in this regard and secure the best available mortgage protection policy for you.

When you are buying your home it is also a great time to consider your wider protection needs, in case you or a co- owner should secomb to a serious illness and loss of income and consequently are unable to pay the mortgage as it falls due.

These are not easy matters to dwell on but they need to be considered, especially if you are taking on a new financial commitment. We will guide through all the options so that you can consider ways to protect yourself adequately.

Your protection options include:

  1. Basic Mortgage Protection cover
  2. Low cost term insurance,
  3. Convertible mortgage protection cover

Our Flex Mortgage Protection Insurance offers you a great opportunity to get peace of mind in regard to future protection needs, by giving you the option to convert your mortgage protection insurance to a term protection policy at a future date, up to the amount of the original mortgage protection sum insured.

Take the example of a mortgage protection policy starting at €300,000.The policy is designed to reduce in line with your mortgage balance over the term of your mortgage so that it will clear your mortgage in the event of a claim - the value of the policy therefore reduces in line with your mortgage.

Mortgage protection additional policy benefits

Our Mortgage protection calculator was the first calculator in Ireland to compare mortgage protection quotes and provide full online discounts.

The most important feature of your protection policy is the cover on your life. There are some other benefits available, which differ between providers and we will advise you on the merits of these benefits.

Examples of free benefits include:

  • Life events cover. Increase your cover without the necessity to provide medical evidence on certain life events, such as having a baby or moving house. Benefits vary between companies.
  • Free medical second opinion. Very useful addition from some providers and the service is available to the policy holders, their children and the policy holder's parents. Second medical opinions very often recommend different treatments than are currently being recommended by your consultant.
  • Free dual life mortgage protection cover. This facility is included in one insurer's standard benefits, at no extra cost - so the mortgage protection policy could pay out twice in the event of both parties to a policy passing away.
  • Children's Life Cover, typically between €4,000 and €7,000 - Zurich do not have this facility.
  • Non Smoking Declaration - Only Royal London allow you to revert to non smoker rates on an existing policy, if you give up cigarettes at a later date - assessed on a case by case basis.
  • Children's serious illness cover automatically included if you take out a qualifying serious illness policy - typically €25,000, not available through Zurich Life.
  • Medical support benefits - available through Royal London, Irish Life and Aviva.
  • Accidental Death Cover - during the period after you submit an application, up to a certain time limit - typically 30 days- not available through Royal London. The insurer will pay out a lump sum up to €150,000, subject to the case meeting qualifying criteria.
  • First month free cover. Available with some insurers.

Add on benefits that cost extra include:

  • Some insurers include an option to convert your mortgage protection policy. This allows you change the mortgage protection policy to a term insurance policy and extend the term without new medical evidence.
  • Accelerated serious illness cover. This benefit will significantly increase the cost of your mortgage protection cover. However, if you have a 100% benefit in place, this will clear the mortgage in the event of a specified seriou sillness.
  • Other benefits include limited hospital cash cover or personal accident cover which may be a useful low cost addition to your policy
