Mortgage Protection is a group of different protection products, mainly life insurance, critical illness or Mortgage payment protection. These are insurance products specifically tailored to your mortgage, so when misfortune happens you are able, for example, to repay your mortgage in order for you to not to lose your property.
It is the cheapest form of life insurance, as the policy is tailored with the mortgage term. The sum assured decreases in proportion to the remaining term of mortgage.
