How much do you actually know about life insurance? ๐Ÿค”

Here are the common myths we hear about life insurance - and the truth behind them:

โ€œYou only need life insurance if you have children.โ€
โŒ FALSE โ€” Life insurance can still be useful if you have a partner, a mortgage or other financial commitments.

โ€œYou canโ€™t get life insurance if you have health issues.โ€
โŒ FALSE โ€” Having health conditions doesn't automatically mean you can't get cover. It may affect the options or cost.

โ€œLife insurance only pays out when you die.โ€
โœ… TRUE โ€” For standard life insurance, the payout is generally made after the insured person dies, subject to the policy terms.

โ€œThe younger you are when you take out life insurance, the cheaper it can be.โ€
โœ… TRUE โ€” Age is one of the factors insurers consider when pricing cover.

๐Ÿก Mortgage Jargon Series
PART 3๏ธโƒฃ

What is an ERC?

You might have heard the term ERC mentioned when talking about your mortgage. So, what does it mean?

ERC = Early Repayment Charge

Itโ€™s a fee that some lenders may charge if you repay your mortgage, or a significant part of it, before the end of your current deal.

The amount can vary depending on your lender and the terms of your particular mortgage, and itโ€™s often highest earlier in a fixed or discounted-rate period before reducing over time.

The important bit? Always check your mortgage terms before making a decision to repay or switch early.

Once your mortgage is arranged, itโ€™s easy to just make the monthly payments and not give it much thought. But circumstances change, and your current deal may be coming to an end.

A quick mortgage review can help you understand:

๐Ÿก When your current deal ends
๐Ÿ’ท What your future repayments could look like
๐Ÿ“Š What options may be available
๐Ÿ“… When to start thinking about your next steps

It doesnโ€™t always mean making a change. Sometimes itโ€™s simply good to know where you stand and be prepared for what comes next.
