Can I get a mortage with no health insurance?

Jock1

Looking to get a mortgage but my partner has a very rare illness which prevents her from getting any health or life insurance, which I can only imagine means it would be the same for taking out insurance when applying for a mortgage?

Though I would hate the thought of having a mortgage with no insurance, could we still get one? She is currently under investigation but this could take years to resolve. She has never had a day sick off in her life ( no exaggeration) and works through the pain but she does have a condition were only a handful of cases have ever been reported worldwide.

Thanks

Yes you can.

Life or sickness insurance, although advisable if available, are not required to obtain lending.

You could always get insurance just for yourself and review options for your partner once all tests are concluded and you have a confirmed diagnosis.

Means your partner would not need to worry if anything happened to you, but you wouldn't have the same comfort if your partner wasn't able to get insurance; Perhaps look at saving up 6 - 12 months of outgoings/bills/mortgage to tide you over.
