Being made involuntarily redundant has now become a major worry for many people in Ireland and it is fast becoming a financial priority to have insurance covering this risk! We will guarantee under the switcher cover that the cost will be fixed for one year, and will then be reviewed on renewal. We will also guarantee a fixed premium for new borrowers for one year, which is also reviewed on renewal.

Because of our historic love of being a property owner, a lot of the Irelands population now find themselves in a difficult situation, trying to cope with large mortgages and lower wages or in some cases, no wages.

This is why we are offering this innovative mortgage payment protection insurance, which will cover your mortgage repayments in the event of being made involuntarily redundant and/or suffering a lengthy illness. In simple terms, this mortgage repayment cover helps protect consumers against defaulting on mortgage repayments so you can concentrate on finding a new job or recovering from your illness while your mortgage insurance pays your mortgage.

Mortgage Payment Protection For All

Financial Architects were involved in the design of one of these products with the IBA (Irish Brokers Association) and we were one of the first Financial Services companies to offer this product to clients across Ireland. We are one of the few financial advisors in Ireland to be able to offer the switch product, so as Qualified Financial Advisors we can use our expertise to best look after you. This mortgage repayment insurance is very affordable. For example, the average mortgage repayment amount that our clients are covering is €1,000 per month, yet the monthly cost for mortgage repayment protection covering unemployment is only €65 per month.

Most importantly, this mortgage payment protection product is available to both those who want to save money by switching for those already with cover for over 12 months without claims. First time borrowers can also protect themselves against the prospect of Involuntary Redundancy, Accident or Sickness also.

Mortgage Protection vs. Mortgage Payment Protection:

Although many people are referring to this product as "Mortgage Protection", this is not strictly correct. Mortgage Protection is normally associated with life assurance/critical illness cover on a mortgage so that the mortgage is cleared in the event of an untimely death or being diagnosed with a serious illness. Mortgage Payment Protection provides mortgage repayment cover in the event of you losing your job or becoming ill. Most significantly, it is designed to provide cover for a given period of time (up to 12 months, depending on the chosen cover) and so is an extremely cost-effective cover where short term protection is required to find a new job or to recover from a serious, but short-term illness.

You must:
Be aged between 18 and 60 years of age.
Work at least 18 hours per week.
Live in Ireland.
Have a mortgage on your property , which is solely occupied by you with no business carried on there.
Not know of any impending redundancy, unemployment or impending medical treatment or advice.
Be in good health and have not suffered from any serious illness over the past 12 months.
If you are as switch borrower your existing payment protection policy must be in place at least 12 months (Claims free) for at least 12 months prior to switching to this policy.

Tax And Social Welfare Issues Relating To Mortgage Repayment Insurance:

Mortgage Payment Protection is paid for up to one year tax free. It also does not currently affect entitlements to Social Welfare.
