Anyone who wants peace of mind that their home would not be at risk if they lost their income should consider covering their repayments with mortgage insurance protection cover. Lenders will give homeowners a little leeway but without an income showing that you can maintain the repayments would be extremely hard. If you were to become ill or suffer an accident you would not know when you might be fit enough to return to work again. If you became unemployed as a result of redundancy it could take you several months to find work. During this time if you got into arrears you could find yourself in court and being evicted from your home.
