Protecting your mortgage is needed at all costs if you want to remain in your home. By getting behind by just a single payment on the mortgage could mean that the mortgage lender would take you to court to seek repossession of your home. Without an income you would not have any hope of being able to come to an agreement with the lender and so they would take you to court. Income insurance mortgage protection would provide you with the money you need to be able to keep up your repayments.
Along with being able to keep up with the repayments of your mortgage you would also have the much needed money to continue paying loan outgoings. Loan outgoings have to be maintained and if you have taken out a secured loan then you would again be at risk of losing your home if you do not maintain the repayments. At the very least defaulting on loans would mean that you would see your credit rating affected. As your credit rating is the first thing that all lenders will take a look at when applying for credit you have to keep this is good stead. A poor credit rating leads to declined loan applications and even if you are approved you would be expected to pay a higher rate of interest.
Income insurance mortgage protection would also allow you to be able to keep up with all of your other essential payments. You would not have to worry about juggling the payments around with the hope that you would be able to catch up on any that you put aside. You would not have to make huge lifestyle changes and could continue meeting payments as you did when working.
By looking for income insurance mortgage protection with a standalone payment protection provider you would get the cheapest premiums. Your policy would begin after a set time which can be found in the terms of the policy. Providers usually offer a deferment period of between the 30th and the 90th day of you becoming unemployed or from being incapacitated. Once your policy has begun to provide you with an income it would then last for between 12 monthly payments and 24 monthly payments before it would cease.
Income insurance mortgage protection should not be confused with income protection insurance. This type of insurance would payout under different circumstances. It would begin to provide you with an income after a longer waiting period but it would payout for a lot longer period of time, which is usually up until the age of your retirement period if you needed to make a claim for that long. However this type of policy would not payout for unemployment it would only payout if you were to become unable to work after falling ill or becoming sick. Before taking out any policy you need to check to be sure that cover would be suitable for your needs. There are certain exclusions that need to be checked against your personal circumstances if you are to be sure that you have a plan on which to rely on.
