Protection FAQs for Hounslow homeowners

Do I need life insurance when I take out a mortgage in Hounslow?
Life insurance is not a legal requirement for a mortgage, but it is widely recommended. With average property values of £480,000 in Hounslow, a life policy ensures your mortgage is repaid and your family can remain in the property if you die during the term. We compare whole-of-market policies to find appropriate cover at a competitive premium.
What is the difference between life insurance and critical illness cover?
Life insurance pays out on death. Critical illness cover pays a lump sum on diagnosis of specified serious conditions — such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke — while you are still alive. Many Hounslow homeowners hold both types, ensuring protection against death and against conditions that prevent them from working.
What does income protection cover and do I need it in Hounslow?
Income protection pays a monthly benefit — typically 50%–70% of gross income — if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. Given Hounslow's property costs, maintaining mortgage payments during a prolonged absence from work matters considerably. Self-employed residents particularly benefit, as they have no employer sick pay to rely on.
How much does mortgage protection cost for a Hounslow property?
Premiums depend on your age, health, occupation, the cover amount, and policy type. We compare across the whole market to identify products appropriate for your circumstances and the size of mortgage typical for Hounslow properties. Initial advice is free and there is no obligation to proceed.
