Corinium Insurance

Cover Overview

What is Mortgage Protection?

Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance is a short term policy that allows you to protect a proportion of your mortgage repayments against unfortunate incidents such as being made unemployed or suffering an illness or having an accident.

Most of us are not able to predict a period of unemployment, broken bone or a sudden illness. When this happens, it can often mean time off work resulting in a loss of earnings. This can put a lot of pressure on you and your family if you have financial commitments.

By covering yourself with a Corinium Mortgage Protection policy you will be safe in the knowledge that you will have some breathing room whilst you are off work.

The policy offers a range of cover, excess and waiting periods to help tailor your policy needs and premium affordability.

You can cover up to £2,000 per month or 65% of your normal income, whichever is lower. At the point of application you can apply for additional cover of up to +25% of your monthly mortgage payment, subject to the maximum monthly benefit allowable, as detailed above.

If you would like a quote, hit the 'Get a Quote' button and simply follow the instructions on screen and answer the questions when prompted to apply.

All applications our sent to our in house administration team to be individually underwritten.
