What is mortgage decreasing term insurance?
Mortgage decreasing term insurance is where the amount you are insured for decreases over time. Since your monthly premium is fixed but the sum you are insured for decreases roughly in line with your repayment mortgage amount, it’s generally cheaper than mortgage term insurance. In some circumstances, the lump sum paid out may not be enough to pay off your repayment mortgage in full, for example if your mortgage interest rate averages over 10% during the term of the plan. This policy includes terminal illness cover at no extra charge.
