| No! Mortgage
providers have to allow you to buy your mortgage insurance from wherever you want,
by law. Therefore they cannot charge a fee.
Confusion can arise in this area because mortgage providers are allowed to charge
a fee if you don’t take out your Buildings Insurance with them - that is
insurance for the structure of your property. But as we have already said above,
they cannot charge you a fee if you decide to take out your Life Insurance independently.
We recommend that you do shop around because life insurance bought through your
mortgage lender could easily be 50% more expensive!
