Mortgage
Insurance which pays a sum of money which can be used to repay a mortgage (or loan) if you die during the term of the policy.
Living Costs

Mortgage and Living costs
Insurance which pays a guaranteed and fixed sum of money if you die during the term of the policy which can be used to repay a mortgage (or loan) and any other purposes including covering future living expenses.
Interest only (level)
With an interest only (level) mortgage the sum of money outstanding remains the same throughout the period of the mortgage and therefore the policy quoted will be a level term life insurance where the amount that is paid out if you die within the term of the policy stays the same. It provides certainty as both the cover and premiums are fixed from the date you start paying the premiums until the end of the policy term.
Repayment (decreasing)
With a capital repayment (decreasing) mortgage the sum of money outstanding reduces over time. Therefore the policy quoted is a decreasing life insurance policy where the sum of money paid out if you die within the term of the policy also reduces over the term of the policy. If this is not the type of policy you require you can amend on the results page.
You can work out the amount of protection you need by totalling up your financial commitments. You should also consider how much your family would still need if you were to die. Things you could consider are: - your outstanding mortgage balance - other financial commitments such as loans, overdrafts and credit card balances - education costs for your children - ongoing family and home living costs (bills, food, home maintenance and home improvements) - any lump sum you may want to leave your loved ones for their future
eg. helping kids with Uni, your partner with a loan etc
The average cost of a UK funeral is £4,078 – SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2017
This is an illustration of the amount of life insurance you may need based on the information you’ve provided. It should not be taken as a recommendation or advice.
How long you should be protected for varies depending on individual circumstances but you could use your reasons for taking out life insurance as a guide. For example: - When will your mortgage come to an end? - When will your family and dependents become self-sufficient?
A single life policy insures only you. A joint life policy insures two lives. You and the other insured life must have a shared financial interest (insurable interest). For example, joint financial commitments such as mortgages or children or two friends with a joint mortgage.
If there are two lives to insure you could have one policy each. Two single policies may be more expensive than a joint policy but it will mean that if one policy is claimed against then the other policy will remain in force.
