Buildings Insurance is Required as a Condition of a Mortgage in The UK

While we hope life will be smooth, most of us know someone who has experienced the challenges of unemployment, illness, or even premature death. These unexpected events can be difficult to handle, especially if you have a mortgage on your home. In such times, failing to protect yourself and your family could lead to devastating consequences. That’s why it makes sense to plan ahead and ensure you're covered against the unexpected.
