Frequently Asked Questions About Mortgage Life Cover

A Mortgage Life Cover is an insurance policy that is designed to clear the outstanding balance on the life insured’s mortgage in the event of their death. For a family home it is normally a condition of the mortgage letter of offer that there is a mortgage life policy in place as security for the borrowings.

With premiums starting from as low as €10.10 per month inclusive of 1% levy and broker only discounts (up to 15% cheaper than your Bank) it’s an ideal time to shop around and price the market to ensure best in product, price and service.

As with Term Life Assurance, the cost is on an individual basis and is based on the following (and subject to medical and/or financial underwriting):

  • Amount of cover taken out (normally the mortgage sum affected).
  • Term (fixed for same term as the mortgage).
  • Age.
  • Gender.
  • Smoker / Non-Smoker.
  • General state of health.

Extra Optional Benefits will also add to the cost:

  • If Serious Illness Protection is chosen
  • Rider Benefits in the form of Hospital Cash benefit, Accident Cash benefit, Surgical Cash benefit

You are under no obligation to take out your Mortgage Life Cover policy with your Bank (Mortgage Provider/Lender). You are free to shop around.

We would recommend talking to a broker like us who can give you a choice of providers in the market place (Unlike, the Banks who are normally tied agents of one particular life company. As a broker we can give you access to up to 5 leading providers in the Irish market.

This gives you the best in choice as we deliver on product, price and service. We can give you access to broker only discounts – thus, online pricing with a personalised advice and service.

Mortgage Life Cover is designed to cover the amount of your mortgage in the event of your death. The premiums on this type of life insurance policy remain the same over time, but the amount covered decreases each year in line with the decreasing value of your mortgage (so as your mortgage comes down the cover comes down in line with this).

For example, say you take out a €200,000 loan to purchase a home, and you take out mortgage life cover that covers that full amount. Each year, as you pay down the principal on your loan, the value of your home will decrease. At the end of 10 years, the value of your loan may be €100,000 and so will be the value of your mortgage life cover. If you died at this 10 year juncture the mortgage life cover policy will pay out €100,000 to clear the mortgage and the policy will cease.

If you sell your home or pay off your mortgage before the mortgage term is up, there are a few options for what happens to that mortgage life cover policy:

You can cancel it altogether and stop paying premiums. However, if you continued paying premiums after mortgage has been cleared the policy would still pay out the level of cover at the time of death to your Family / Estate. If no death (no claim) during the term then the level of cover will be zero at then end of the original mortgage term – thus, end of policy – end of story!
