As seniors in our + 70s we know travel medical insurance can be costly without taking out a mortgage. Fortunately our health is better than most our age or even some younger and understand Insurance Underwriters and Acturaries go by statistics. The agent we talked to Karen Write was absolutely patient and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by the quote she gave, as the quote we had from another carrier was about 3 times more. Naturally we went with Karen Write at Alliance. We can't thank her enough for being so patient, undestanding and helpful. If in the future we are fortunate, health wise, to continue to travel we will definitely call Karen Wright at Alliance. CUDOS to Karen Wright

Azita was very helpful and patient with me as I was trying to make my travel insurance choice. She called me back about 3 times and when I was finally ready, she was away and Dornaz was equally helpful in completing my application. I would recommend this company!

I am very pleased with the service I received from Alliance. Dormaz was my contact. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She answered all my questions with kindness, patience, and respect. She found me a policy which offered the coverage I wanted at a better price than I had been able to find on my own.

The cost quoted was definately comparable to other carriers. My only complaint is that you can never call and get a direct quote. You always have to leave a message and wait for a call back. I find that inconvenient. It took me 2 days to get a quote. It used to take less than 30 minutes.

What is Mortgage Life Insurance?

If, for whatever reason, you are no longer able to make payments on your mortgage, Mortgage Insurance will cover the missed payments so that you can avoid the foreclosure of your property. Your policy premium payments will stop only once your mortgage is fully paid off.

You will also have the peace of mind that in the unfortunate event of your death, your family will not have to worry about paying the mortgage or searching for a new home. However, the policy payments will always go straight to the financial institution you hold your mortgage with, and not your family.

Is Mortgage Insurance required?

Yes and no, as it depends on your down-payment amount. If you put down below 20% of the property’s value, Mortgage Insurance will be required by the lender to protect them in case you default on your loan payments.

 

A 20% down-payment is unattainable for many new home buyers, especially due to the rapidly rising housing prices. The minimum down-payment in Canada for first time buyers is 5%, which is what most people choose to pay. If the value of your desired property is above $500,000 but below a million, you will have to pay 5% of the $500,000 plus additional 10% of the remaining amount. Properties valued at one million or above require a 20% down-payment and do not qualify for mortgage insurance.

 

Purchasing a Mortgage Insurance provides security to your lender, which enables them to offer sustainable interest rates on your loan.

How is Mortgage Insurance cost calculated?

Your Mortgage Insurance cost will always depend on the desired property’s value and your down-payment amount. The lower the value of the property and the bigger the down-payment, the lower Mortgage Insurance cost will be.

How to Save Money on Mortgage Life Insurance?

The best way to save money on insurance is to shop around and compare rates from different providers. This can be an exhaustive and time-consuming process. Thankfully, Policy Rates takes care of it for you! When you request a quote through our website, we check what rates you can get from every major Canadian insurer.

Policy Rates provides you with the lowest rates for the level of coverage that you desire from top insurance companies.

20% Down Payment

Completely avoid the need for Mortgage Insurance if you can muster up a 20% down payment on your desired property.

Down Payment Percentage

Even if 20% down payment is out of reach, try to contribute an extra amount to reach a new down payment percentage bracket. The more money you put down, the lower your Mortgage Insurance will be.

Shorter Amortization Period

Your mortgage amortization period is the total amount of time it takes to completely pay off your mortgage. Opting for a shorter term, you will have higher monthly payments, but you will pay it off sooner and stop making mortgage payments.

Pay Above Your Monthly Payments

Whenever you can afford it, make extra payments on your mortgage loan to pay it off early. Your Mortgage Insurance payments end as soon as your mortgage is paid off.
