Life is unpredictable—but with the right protection in place, you can feel confident knowing your loved ones are financially secure, no matter what happens. At Empire Mortgages, we offer clear, friendly, and professional advice on life insurance tailored to your personal circumstances and mortgage needs. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or remortgaging your home, life insurance can provide vital peace of mind.
Life insurance is a policy that pays out a lump sum or regular income to your loved ones if you pass away during the term of the policy. It’s designed to ease the financial burden of losing a family member—especially if that person is responsible for paying a mortgage or household bills.
There are several types of life insurance available, and choosing the right one depends on your personal situation. That’s where we come in.
We work with providers across the whole market to offer a range of life insurance options:
Level Term Life Insurance
This type of policy pays out a fixed lump sum if you pass away during the policy term. It’s ideal for protecting your family and ensuring financial stability for your children or partner.
Decreasing Term Life Insurance
Often used to cover a repayment mortgage, this policy’s payout decreases over time—just like your mortgage balance. It’s usually more affordable and ensures your home is fully paid off if the unexpected happens.
Family Income Benefit
Instead of a lump sum, this policy pays out a regular income to your family for a set number of years. It’s a great way to maintain monthly living costs and household stability.
Whole of Life Insurance
This policy covers you for your entire lifetime, with a guaranteed payout. It’s often used for inheritance planning or to cover funeral costs.
Add Critical Illness Cover
Many of our clients also consider critical illness cover, which provides a payout if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It can help with medical bills, living costs, or replacing lost income.
At Empire Mortgages, we don’t just look at figures—we look at your full picture. Our advisers will take the time to understand your goals, budget, and circumstances, and recommend the right policy to meet your needs.

Yes, possibly. Some providers are more flexible than others. We can explore insurers that may be more accommodating to your health background.
We’re happy to review any existing cover to make sure it’s still suitable. In many cases, people are underinsured—or overpaying.
