I've taken a bigger mortgage: is my life cover still enough?
A new or larger mortgage is a strong reason to compare the outstanding debt, mortgage term and repayment structure with existing protection. Cover may still be suitable, but the change should be reviewed rather than assumed.
I've moved house / increased my mortgage.
A new or larger mortgage can change the amount and duration of protection needed. Compare outstanding debt and term with existing cover, while also considering family income needs.
Why are you asking about my mortgage again?
Protection is often designed around debts and ongoing household needs. As balances, terms and other borrowing change, existing cover can become more or less aligned.
