Both EverydayProtect and MortgageSafe Individual Protection policies aim to cover the majority of clients immediately, via quick and simplified online applications. 
 
Innovation and simplification 
Our commitment is to provide innovative and simple products which focus on increased accessibility and inclusivity for clients.

Whether your clients are first-time buyers or returning to the property market, it’s important for them to protect one of their most valuable assets; their home.

MortgageSafe is our accessible, flexible, affordable policy, that protects mortgage repayments if your client has an accident or is ill and can’t work, so isn’t earning their usual income as a result.

MortgageSafe makes your client’s monthly repayments from the first day they’re unable to work. There’s a short four-week waiting period, no underwriting on our accident-only policies, and our accident and illness policies are available for 12- or 24-months. What’s more, it can cover 110% of the monthly repayment value, up to a maximum of £1,500.

More confidence for more clients

Everyone should have a financial safety net in case the unexpected happens, but there are some who need it more than others. If any of your clients:

  • Have a limited protection budget
  • Have little or no sick pay, or only get statutory sick-pay
  • Don’t have much in savings
  • Have a low disposable income
  • Have a pre-existing medical condition

… MortgageSafe could provide the financial protection they need to keep paying their mortgage.

MortgageSafe also offers Optional Child Cover:

Families can choose to add Optional Child Cover onto their policy for an additional £3 per month.

It isn't linked to the mortgage. It’s simply there to help families get back on track and manage any unexpected costs associated with child accidents and illness.
