Mark Tiernan, How Cheap Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance Can Help First Time Buyers<br><br><br><br><p>
        <br> Cheap mortgage payment protection insurance is a mortgage
extra that very few first time buyers actually consider before the
subject comes up in a mortgage interview. This is not surprising given
the fact that they are new to the process of applying for a mortgage
and probably have all sorts of information spinning around their mind.
However, cheap mortgage payment protection insurance is most definitely
something that no homeowner should dismiss without first seriously
considering. </p><p>
Often viewed as an unnecessary expense, the cheap mortgage payment
protection insurance premiums that individuals pay on a monthly basis
do not eat into the disposable income that remains after all bills are
paid and yet can provide massive peace of mind should a homeowner lose
his or her job as a result of redundancy or be unable to work as a
result of long term illness. </p><p>
It is especially important for first time buyers to seek cheap mortgage
payment protection insurance because of the nature of the housing
market at this time. With house prices still on the rise, homeowners
are having to take out bigger mortgages in order to pay for a home and
thus stand to lose more if they are unable to make the mortgage
repayments. First time buyers are also likely to have less put aside in
the form of savings that they could fall back on if need be. </p><p>
The risk of having their first home repossessed is very real if an
individual found him or herself unable to work for an extended period
of time, but cheap mortgage payment protection insurance may cover
repayments for a period of up to twelve to twenty-four months, although
that time frame all depends on the individual policy terms and
conditions. In fact, cheap mortgage payment protection insurance may
also cover associated bills as well, thus serving to save a homeowner
an awful lot of heartache. </p><p>
