Fixed term life cover with critical IllnessThis is a protection policy that will pay out a cash lump sum if you die or are diagnosed with a critical illness that meets our policy definition within a set period of time known as the policy term. The amount of cover remains fixed throughout the policy term.Mortgage life cover with critical illness
Unlike the Fixed Term policy, this is a decreasing protection policy where the level of cover reduces each year during the term of the policy roughly in line with the outstanding balance on a standard repayment mortgage – hence it is frequently referred to as “mortgage protection”.
Provided the initial sum insured and term are the same as the mortgage at the outset it means that in the event of death or diagnosis of a critical illness that meets our policy definition the policy should be sufficient to repay the mortgage provided interest rates have not risen above 12% p.a.
