No, you don’t have to take out decreasing life insurance to cover a mortgage. It depends on a few factors, such as what you want the lump sum to cover, how much you require, how much you want to pay each month, and how long you need cover for. We offer different types of cover to suit different needs, so you can choose which one is right for you and your family.
Our life insurance page explains the difference between our different types of cover, and what you might want to consider. If you’re still unsure, talk to a financial adviser about your reasons for taking out insurance. You can find an adviser at www.unbiased.co.uk.
