Yes it is. However be sure to read the small print to ensure it will pay out in any circumstances that may effect you.

Yes its a good idea, but read the small print carefully when choosing as some have get out clauses for not being enacted. Also shop around, your mortgage advisor will probably offer a package that seems good. There are companies who specialise in this sort of business and can offer far lower prices with more upfront details.

Weigh the cost of disability insurance and mortgage protection insurance, or put the cost of the insurance in a savings account to take care of those times when you may not be earning an income. Pay yourself first.

most are completely useless and not worth the money they cost with all the small print and exclusions etc. most of them you have to be off for three months before you can even claim

Some form of insurance is absolutley necessary. You won't get any of your mortgage paid by the dole if you lose your job or unabe to work, but you would get rent paid, go figure (they introduced that a few years ago).
Mortgage protection does exactly what it says it will merely pay your mortgage. There are lots of different types with different payouts, for example some only pay interest some pay the lot.
Another option is to get income protection insurance that will pay your salary if you are unable to work. Again there are lots of different flavours.

I would see a financial advisor. Make sure it is an independant one who is not tied to any particular set of companies.

it is the best protection for the life,it is the pledging of a property to a lender as a security for a mortgage loan. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is evidence of a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land, from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner of the real estate when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower.
