Life Cover UK | Protect Your Family & Mortgage

Secure Your Family’s Future with Expert Life Cover Advice

Life cover provides financial protection for your family, home, and financial commitments. It ensures your mortgage, loans, and everyday living costs can still be met if the unexpected happens — giving you peace of mind without jargon or confusion.

As a regulated mortgage adviser, I provide personalised life cover advice tailored to your circumstances, helping you choose the right policy and cover level for your family and home.

What is Life Cover?

Life cover (also called life insurance) pays out a tax-free lump sum if you pass away during the policy term. This money can be used to:

  • Repay your mortgage or outstanding debts
  • Cover everyday living expenses
  • Support your dependants financially
  • Maintain your family’s standard of living

Life cover is particularly important if you:

  • Have a mortgage or financial commitments
  • Have dependants who rely on your income
  • Want to secure your family’s future


“Life cover isn’t about expecting the worst — it’s about giving your loved ones financial security, no matter what the future holds.”

Why Life Cover Matters for Homeowners

For mortgage holders, life cover is essential to protect your home. If something were to happen, life cover ensures your mortgage could still be paid, allowing your family to remain in their home.

Even if you already have life insurance, circumstances change — new mortgages, children, income changes, or career moves can create gaps in cover. Regular reviews help avoid shortfalls and may offer better value.

Types of Life Cover

I help you choose the policy that best suits your needs:
Policy Type How It Works Best For
Level Term Life Cover Pays a fixed lump sum throughout the policy term Families wanting stable protection
Decreasing Term Life Cover Payout reduces over time, often linked to repayment mortgages Homeowners with decreasing mortgage balances
Family Income Benefit Pays regular income instead of a lump sum Providing ongoing support for dependants

Each option has pros and cons — I’ll recommend the right solution based on your family, finances, and mortgage.

How Much Life Cover Do You Really Need?

Your life cover should match your mortgage, dependants, and future plans. Factors I consider include:

  • Outstanding mortgage balance
  • Monthly living expenses
  • Number and age of dependants
  • Education or long-term care costs

I calculate your requirements accurately, helping you avoid overpaying while ensuring your family is fully protected.
