The Top Tips

ââ?¬Â¢ Some mortgage lenders may try to coerce you into taking out an MPPI policy along with your mortgage. If this happens, make sure you find out how much extra the MPPI cover will cost you each month. Then get on the Internet and get some competitive quotations. Most people will find that the Internet saves them up to 60%!

ââ?¬Â¢ Mortgage lenders will only quote you for the amount of cover you need to meet your monthly mortgage repayments. The author recommends that you extend the cover to include the cost of your home & contents insurance, mortgage life insurance, and the cost of any investment plan you have arranged to repay your mortgage (the investment plan only applies to mortgages where you are only paying the interest each month and will be repaying the capital at the end of the mortgage).

ââ?¬Â¢ You can take out MPPI at any time. Some people wrongly believe that you can only take out MPPI when you arrange the mortgage.

ââ?¬Â¢ If your employment is casual or seasonal you will not be able to claim on an MPPI policy. Every policy has what are called exclusions and seasonal and casual work is a typical exclusion. Exclusions are the circumstances under which a claim will be refused. Be sure to read these exclusions before you take out the policy and, if your circumstances mean that you’re unlikely to be able to make a valid claim, don’t buy the insurance! Exclusions on MPPI policies can eliminate 50% of potential claims.

ââ?¬Â¢ The cheapest is not always the best. So don’t automatically opt for the cheapest policy. The circumstances under which policies pay out do vary – so check them out cautiously. The premium quoted will be a reflection of the extent of the exclusions in the policy, the level of cover provided and the insurers general pricing policy.

ââ?¬Â¢ MPPI is sold under a number of alternative names. So don’t get confused. It can also be described as Accident Sickness and Unemployment Insurance, Payment Care and Payment Cover. In principle, they are the same ââ?¬” but remember to check out the exclusions!

ââ?¬Â¢ Most MPPI policies say that you must be off work for a minimum period before you can claim. The longest period you’ll find is 60 days but many policies reduce this to 30 days. Some will then backdate the payment to the first day you were off work. Look out for the details which you’ll find in the policy’s Terms and Conditions. Always check these out before you buy – and remember to compare like with like when you’re comparing prices.

ââ?¬Â¢ Don’t confuse Mortgage Indemnity Insurance (MIG) with Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance. MIG provides insurance cover for a lender for any losses they might suffer as a result of a property on which they provided a mortgage being sold for less than the value of the outstanding mortgage. All payments under a MIG policy go to the lender, not you!

ââ?¬Â¢ If you have Permanent Health Insurance your may not need MPPI. Check out the terms of you PHI policy and then make your mind up whether MPPI is adding anything extra.

ââ?¬Â¢ If you already have Critical Illness Insurance be aware that there is a level of duplication with MPPI. MPPI will pay an income during the insured period for any illness that prevents you from working. Critical illness Insurance pays out a lump sum if you have any of the chronic illnesses listed on the critical illness policy (other conditions apply). So if you have a valid claim under your critical illness policy, you will probably also have a valid claim under your MPPI policy. However, if the illness that’s keeping you off work is not listed on the chronic list then only your MPPI policy will payout.

ââ?¬Â¢ Do shop around. You’ll find that the Internet is the cheapest place to shop for MPPI and many web sites enable you to arrange cover immediately online.

If you are a homeowner with a mortgage to pay, then if you haven’t got it already, mortgage payment insurance is certainly something you may wish to consider. You may just think that it is another added and unnecessary expense to add to your list of household commitments, but it can, in times of financial distress such as unemployment or incapacity, literally save the roof over your head.

Mortgage payment protection insurance – to give its full title, or MPPI for short – helps you to maintain your mortgage repayments in the event that you lose your income though no fault of your own. By this it means such things as involuntary redundancy; recovering from an accident or a prolonged illness, all things that could see you without an income.

How does mortgage payment insurance work?

If you have this form of payment protection insurance, should you lose your job to involuntary redundancy or become unable to work due to illness, the policy will pay you a monthly tax free benefit that can be used towards maintaining your monthly mortgage repayments as well as other mortgage related costs such as home insurance.

The benefit will usually kick in anywhere from 30 to 90 days after the covered event happens, subject to the individual policy’s terms and conditions. Some providers will allow you to claim just 30 days after you become unable to work and will back date your claim to the first day of incapacity or unemployment, meaning that you get the full benefit of the cover.

You will then continue to receive this benefit typically for up to 12-24 months, again, depending on the individual policy terms and conditions – or when you get back to work, whichever happens sooner.

How much can I claim?

The amount of benefit you will receive will be agreed at the time of taking out the insurance and will be subject to the provider’s own limits, but you can typically insure around 75% of your gross monthly earned income (or up to £3,000). The insured amount will include your monthly mortgage repayment as well as insurance premiums for things such as home, life and critical illness insurance. Some insurers will also allow you to include an amount to cover other household related expenses such as utilities and council tax.

Of course, as when buying any type of financial product, it is important that you fully understand what the insurance entails, so never just skip over the terms and conditions – make sure that the protection offers you the cover you need. This includes the ‘exclusions’ section too of the policy. Do check that you would be eligible to claim on your mortgage payment insurance policy as things like a pre-existing medical condition, or being a part time worker, or retired, would generally be excluded from the cover.

Shop around

One final point to note is that you are free to shop around for your mortgage payment cover. Despite what your mortgage lender may imply, you do not have to take their policy at the time of arranging your mortgage. And if you already have an existing policy, you can switch to another provider.

Do some homework when looking for your insurance, particularly focusing on the independent providers of the product who are, historically, cheaper than their high street counterparts. Mortgage payment insurance can be an invaluable product to have, but you should not have to pay over the odds for it in order to get the peace of mind it gives.
