Insurances and what they could mean to you
Buying your house is often an exciting time and will probably be the largest purchase and financial commitment that you will make. It is a sad fact that many people get caught up in the excitement of their new home but very little thought goes in to how you will keep it if things go wrong!
We insure our cars, pets and holidays as we deem these to be valuable to us but what about our homes and ourselves? While buildings insurance is compulsory with a mortgage we don’t always correctly assess the value of our belongings or your own value.
Some of the important questions that you should ask yourself when committing to a mortgage are:
- Have you considered how to afford your mortgage if you are unable to work through illness?
- What if your partner or spouse died, how would this affect your ability to meet your ongoing monthly commitments?
- If you were widowed, would you need to pay for extra childcare?
- What would it cost to replace your furniture, clothing and other belongings if you had a fire in your home?
- How long could you survive on your savings if your income stopped?
At Shire Financial Services Limited we offer a holistic approach to assessing your needs. Your situation is unique to you; talking this through with one of our experienced Brokers will help you better understand the potential risks and how to protect yourself against them.
Whether you need Income Protection to replace lost salary if unable to work through illness, Life Insurance to repay your mortgage in the event of death, Family Income Benefit to provide an income for your family or Critical Illness Cover for life’s nasties that surprise us all too often. We can help you secure your future with financial protection when you need it the most.
