When you take on a mortgage, protecting your family and your home becomes a priority. Many people assume their employer’s Death in Service benefit or workplace protection is enough but the reality is:
🚨Death in Service is tied to your job so If you change employer, retire, or are made redundant, that cover usually stops.
🚨The amount of cover your employer provides may not match your mortgage. So although a lump sum benefit might sound reassuring, it isn’t always aligned with your current mortgage balance or family’s ongoing needs.
🚨Critical illness & income protection aren’t included. Employer schemes rarely cover loss of income due to illness or injury, which is often the bigger risk for homeowners. always check what you are actually covered for with your employer.
🔑 Personal protection policies give you control. You choose the cover amount, the term, and the features that fit your mortgage and lifestyle. Unlike employer benefits, they stay with you no matter where you work.
So If you’re buying a house, think of employer protection as a bonus, not a replacement. The right personal cover ensures your home and family are secure, whatever happens with your career.🏡👨👩👧👦😀
