Imagine being signed off work tomorrow due to illness or injury — how long would your savings really last? For many families, it wouldn’t be long before mortgage payments and everyday expenses became a serious worry. Your home is more than bricks and mortar; it’s stability, security, and your family’s future. Protecting it is just as important as securing the mortgage itself.
That’s where mortgage protection comes in. At West Wales Money, I provide tailored advice on the three essential types of protection — income protection, critical illness cover, and life assurance — helping you keep your home and your loved ones safe, no matter what life brings.
Understanding Mortgage Protection
Mortgage protection is designed to step in when the unexpected happens. If you can’t work due to illness, injury, or in the event of death, it ensures your mortgage payments are covered. This isn’t about products or policies — it’s about protecting your family’s lifestyle and keeping a roof over their heads.
With the right plan in place, you gain more than financial cover — you gain peace of mind.
Why Mortgage Matters
Family Security
Your home is at the centre of your family’s world. With protection in place, you’ll know they can remain in their home without the fear of financial instability.
Financial Peace of Mind
An illness or loss of income can quickly lead to stress about meeting monthly payments. Mortgage protection removes that pressure, allowing you to focus on what really matters.
Flexibility
Cover can be tailored to your situation. Whether you want to protect just the mortgage or include wider living expenses such as bills, childcare, or school fees, it can be shaped to fit your needs.
Types of Mortgage Protection
There are three main types of mortgage protection that work together to safeguard your future:
- Income Protection – Provides a regular, tax-free income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury.
- Critical Illness Cover – Pays out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, stroke, or heart attack.
- Life Assurance – Clears the outstanding mortgage if you pass away during the policy term, ensuring your family can stay in the home.
At West Wales Money, I help you find the right combination of these protections so your mortgage and your family’s security are fully covered.
