Mortgage protection insurance is a form of life insurance that pays off the outstanding balance on your mortgage should you die before the mortgage is fully repaid. It is usually compulsory for all mortgage holders in Ireland.
Joint life cover insures two people but a claim is paid out on the first death and policy closes. Dual Life Insurance also insures two people but a claim can be paid on both deaths. If first person dies, the policy continues in the name of the second.
The monthly premiums of this plan are based on single life cover of €60,000 for a person aged 21 next birthday and a non-smoker, over a 10 year term. Acceptance criteria, terms and conditions apply.
Mortgage protection insurance can give your family peace of mind by paying off the entire mortgage if you die. This provides peace of mind and allows your family to focus on their future without worrying about mortgage payments.
Policies purchased from banks are usually expensive. If you wish to switch, we will assist you through the switching process, again in three simple steps: Get your new, low cost policy in place. Assign your new policy to your mortgage lender. Cancel your old policy.
You can get a mortgage protection insurance plan without having to undergo a medical exam if you are fit and in good health. This makes the process quick and hassle-free, so you can get the coverage you need sooner and easier.
It is required by mortgage lenders in Ireland. It protects the family home if you pass away during the term of the mortgage.
Relax and have peace of mind by choosing a mortgage insurance plan. You can be assured that your family will benefit financially if something tragic happens to you.

Comparing the best mortgage life insurance policy can be challenging. Here are some tips to get the best one:
We do all the research and get quotes from all leading mortgage insurance providers. We will get you the best deals on mortgage protection policies in Ireland.
How much mortgage protection you require will depend on the mortgage amount being borrowed. The premium for this will be based on health, age, mortgage amount, and term of mortgage loan. So plans should be compared based on your personal requirements.
Once you get quotes from different providers, thoroughly read and understand the terms and conditions to have a strong grasp on what is covered. We will provide you with a comparison of each provider.
Ask questions or raise concerns that you have about mortgage insurance plans. This will give you a better understanding and help secure the right policy that caters to your requirements.
While focusing on the features and benefits, don’t forget to check for the financial capabilities of the insurer. This ensures that they can pay out the claim if required.
What Happens If I Want to Top-up My Mortgage?
You will need to rearrange your mortgage protection insurance to ensure the term and level of cover match your new mortgage loan amount and new mortgage term.
It is likely the bank or lender will not provide a top-up mortgage until the above conditions are met.

What if I Have an Interest Only Mortgage?
With an Interest Only mortgage, you are paying the interest due only so the actual mortgage loan amount borrowed is not decreasing.
Mortgage Protection is a low-cost life insurance benefit that declines annually along with the value of your mortgage while maintaining constant premiums for the duration of the policy. It is best suited for mortgage loans that are capital and interest payments, meaning your loan with the lender will be zero at the end of the mortgage term.
If your mortgage is interest-only the non-decreasing life insurance plan will likely be more suitable as the level of cover on this plan remains the same throughout the term, just like your interest-only mortgage.
