Protection Advice
Have the peace of mind that you and your loved ones are financially secure should the unexpected occur, with expert advice on life insurance, critical illness and income protection insurance.
Don't let life's speed bumps slow down your plans...
Protection is designed to provide you with financial security at a time when you are likely to need it the most. At Belle Maison Mortgages our priority is to help you secure your financial future. One of the key aspects of ensuring financial security for you and your family is having the right insurance and protection in place.
Our expert protection advisers will review your needs and advise you on which protection products suit your circumstances. Whether that be to protect your family, a mortgage, or your lifestyle. We will then tailor an individual solution to fit your budget giving you peace of mind that no matter what life challenges you encounter, your family and home remain protected. Let’s face it, it’s not a nice thing to talk about and many people believe ‘it will never happen to me’ and whilst we sincerely hope that ‘it’ does not, the unfortunate reality is that ‘it’ just might! As part of our protection advice service, we will discuss which life changing issues may be important to you and what impact these events could have on your ability to maintain your standard of living as well as your mortgage and associated costs.
Peace of mind does not need to be expensive. The cost of having inadequate or no cover at all however, may very well be.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is designed to provide financial support for your loved ones in the event of your death. It pays out a lump sum or regular income to your chosen beneficiaries, ensuring they can maintain their lifestyle and cover expenses such as mortgage payments, education costs, and daily living expenses. With a variety of life insurance policies available, we’ll help you choose the one that best suits your needs and budget.
Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover is a form of insurance that provides financial support if you’re diagnosed with a specified serious illness or medical condition this includes things like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It pays out a tax-free lump sum, which can be used to cover medical expenses, replace lost income, or make any necessary modifications to your home. This type of insurance can offer peace of mind, knowing that you and your family will be taken care of during a challenging time. It is quite often ‘added on’ to a life insurance policy however it can be taken out as a standalone policy for added peace of mind. The quality of cover and the illnesses covered can vary significantly between different providers. We can help you find the plan that best meets your requirements.
Income Protection
Income protection insurance is designed to help you maintain financial stability in case you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. This policy pays out a regular, tax-free income, usually a percentage of your salary, to cover your living expenses until you’re able to return to work or until the policy term ends. It’s a valuable safety net that can help you focus on recovery without worrying about financial stress.
Income protection is a important policy for anyone who is currently working, whether that be employed or self-employed. Even if your employer pays you sick pay, this is likely to only last for up to one year, therefore ongoing protection is crucial.
Family Income Benefit
Family income benefit is an insurance plan specifically crafted to provide your dependents with a steady, tax-free income in the event of your death. Rather than delivering a one-time lump sum, this cover ensures a continuous flow of income to assist your family in maintaining their lifestyle and daily needs, thus alleviating financial burdens during a time of adjustment. This also has the added benefit of helping to reduce the premiums in comparison to a plan paying out a larger one time lump sum.
Overview
Insurance and protection products are a crucial part of securing your family’s financial future. At Belle Maison Mortgage Solutions, we’re here to guide you through the process, helping you find the right combination of solutions to suit your unique circumstances. By understanding these options and tailoring them to your needs, you can ensure that you and your loved ones are well-prepared for whatever life throws your way

Check out what our clients have to say about us below!
We used Belle Maison recently to purchase our new home. We weren’t first time buyers this time, and have never been in a chain before so lots of this was new to us. I can’t recommend Paula and Louise highly enough. The whole transaction was made so much easier because Paula provided such an efficient service. She was informative, efficient, and helpful, and always kind and considered. We felt really comfortable having Paula and Louise involved in our transaction and it definitely helped us get where we needed to be. They were very communicative - often out of hours and on weekends which we really appreciated. They helped us work through insurance options too, which was also new to us. I’ll definitely be using the service again for my next mortgage, and will recommend them to anyone! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would ✨
Amazing from start to finish, helped us every step & made what would have been a stressful task very easy/simple. Massive thanks you.
So glad we chose Belle Maison to support us with our mortgage when we chose to move house. The service was second to none and Paula was always available to chat and talk through things with us. If you’re thinking about moving or doing anything in the way of mortgages then I absolutely recommend Belle Maison 100%. We will be forever grateful.
Cannot thank Paula and Louise enough! They’re responsive, efficient, honest and genuinely care about their customers and getting the best outcome as soon as possible. Communication, at every stage, has been second to none. Thank you, thank you, thank you for easing the stress, not adding to it!
A huge thank you to Paula & Louise, who made buying our first home so seamless. Buying your first home can seem like such a daunting process, but Belle Maison provides clear guidance on what’s required from start to finish. We would highly recommend Paula & Louise, they really are experts in their field. Super knowledgable & personable 😁.
Couldn’t recommend Paula & the team highly enough. Always had the answers, worked very hard to make our dream possible. Forever grateful.
