Mortgage Insurane

Post by LICY »

Our mortgage interest went up considerably with no reason why. On enquiring we can reduce it if we purchase life cover. We were quoted a huge amount, certainly way higher than we pay for the same type of cover in the UK. Has anyone got any recommendation? :|

From what I see on Deco site simulation (Portugal' Consumer Protection Association) the cost for a mortgage life insurance for a couple both 50 years old for 300.000€ is between 2.000€ to 5.000€/year

The site is http://www.deco.proteste.pt/dinheiro/se ... tion=Input but its only in Portuguese. Sorry.

To personalize your options, here is a rough translation:

Finalidade a que se destina (Whats for): Choose: Garantia do crédito hipotecário (Mortgage Guarantee)
Tipo de Cobertura (Type of Coverage): A duas cabeças (couple)
Idade do 1.o elemento (age of first person)
Idade do 2.o elemento (age of second person)
Capital segurado (Insurance amount):
Cobertura (Coverage): Choose: Cobertura mais abrangente (More/better coverage)

Can you not take out a UK life policy and assign it to your Portuguese mortgage provider? If not my wife can give you the contact details of a good Portuguese broker.
