    Mortgage protection plans are usually used in conjunction with repayment mortgages to protect against death and/or critical illness. The cover is designed to reduce in line with the outstanding mortgage loan.

    Life insurance cover is designed to pay out a lump sum should you die during the term of the policy. This is usually on a level basis, meaning that the sum assured does not reduce. Critical illness cover may also be included in the plan.

    For an additional cost, critical illness cover can be added to the life cover or mortgage protection plans. It provides cover if you are diagnosed with a critical illness such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, loss of hearing, and numerous others.
