Need to Re-Mortgage - Mortgage Cover

Hi There

I am coming to the end of my current fixed rate, and need to re-mortgage. I have Accident, Sickness and Unemployment cover for my current mortgage. It has entered my head that I could lose my job in the coming months (though no real indication of it, yet.)

If I re-mortgage, does my mortgage cover basically become invalid and then have to be re-negotiated? I am concerned I will be left for a short period of time not covered by mortgage protection, when I re-mortgage in the near future.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

    As long as you keep paying the premiums you should be covered.

    Is the policy with your current lender?

    Hi

    The mortgage cover is with a third party insurer. I phoned them, and they said that the policy is completely transferrable, so problem solved ;-)

    Thanks for your help.
