    If you take out unemployment only mortgage protection, then read the small print carefully- some comapnies expect you to sign on and be in receipt of jobseekers allowance before they will cough up any benefit..which does not suit everyone.

    Well I figured that the PHI would kind of replace MPI as it would safe guard our income, though I see what you mean PHI only covers if you are unable to work due to illness etc and does not cover redundancy.

    The list of insurances needed seems endless.:wall:
    MFWB
    Mortgage when started: £232,000
    Current mortgage Sept 2024: £232,000
    Mortgage free day: Sept 2029
