How to keep your home
(even if you lose your health, or your job)
As your broker, it's our responsibility here at Canberra Mortgage Brokers to not only help you find the right loan, but also to help make sure you're able to service it.
That's because everyday life events can and do impact people's ability to make their repayments.
For instance, do you know how you – or your family - would meet your repayments if you suffered a serious injury, illness, or even death? What about if you lost your job?
Nobody likes to think about it
Unfortunately, 60% of Australians believe they'd need to sell an asset within three months of losing their income. So it's something that can't be ignored.
The good news is we may be able to help.
Loan Protection Plan – a simple solution
A Loan Protection Plan is an insurance product that may provide affordable protection for you and your family. It's designed specifically for home and property buyers and it's available through our partner, ALI Group.
Broader cover
What's so good about the ALI Loan Protection Plan is that it covers you for 11 serious illnesses (something most super insurances don't offer), involuntary unemployment for the first 5 years, as well as death and terminal illness. You don't need a medical to get the cover either.
And one more very important thing. In the event of a payout, the money is paid to you, not your lender.
The benefits are all yours
This means unlike most other insurance cover, you get to choose how the money's spent. It doesn't have to go on the mortgage if you think you'd rather spend it somewhere else – for instance on urgent medical expenses. Even a holiday. It's your call.
The real-world benefits
