Zurich Life offers 10% discount on mortgage protection policies to first time buyers through Financial Brokers until 31st August
9th June 2015
Recent reports* show that first time buyers are dominating the Ireland mortgage lending market, which rose by over 70% in the first quarter of 2015.
First-time buyers counting every cent when taking out a mortgage should shop around for mortgage protection cover to get the best value, rather than simply going with the cover offered by their mortgage provider. Mortgage protection cover pays out a lump sum, in the event of the death of the mortgage holder during the policy term.
Zurich Life has introduced a 10% discount on mortgage protection policies for first time buyers until 31st August. The 10% discount applies throughout the life of the policy - making its offering even more competitive on price.
Where sickness or injury makes premiums payment difficult, Zurich Life's mortgage protection offering comes uniquely with a free waiver of premium benefit for eligible policies under age 60. This benefit means that premiums are paid if a customer is disabled due to illness or injury and completely unable to follow their occupation for a period longer than 13 weeks. In order to make a valid claim, policy specific conditions must be met and certain exclusions apply.
How can people get the 10% discount on new Zurich Life Mortgage Protection policies?
Customers interested should contact their Financial Broker or Zurich Life. The 10% discount is available on new Zurich Life policies taken out by first time buyers up until 31st August. More details are available on zurich.ie.
