Mortgage Protection Insurance is something you should strongly consider when taking out a home loan. My personal view is that the premium you pay on your mortgage protection insurance should be thought of as part of your home loan repayment and included in your calculations when determining affordabiliy. The statistics below are unbelievable but correct. For every 1 home lost due to fire (and no one would ever dream of not having home and contents insurance), a staggering 52 are lost due to death or disability: Craig Vaughan, Director MAP Mortgage Brokers.

MAP can assist with Mortgage Protection Insurance for both Australian Expats and Non Residents/Temporary Residents including those on 457 visas. This includes Life and Income protection Insurance for those on 457 Visas.

MAP has teamed up with one of Australias largest general insurers in Allianz to provide a solution to clients who require help with their home and contents insurance.

Under the agreement between MAP and Allianz, clients of MAP will receive free up to 90 days building cover to cover you up to time of settlement. In many states it is a requirement to have insurance 5pm the next business day after a contract is signed so this provides a great solution.

Clients of MAP will also get 10% off an Allianz home insurance policy, a 30% no claim bonus and discounts if you bundle your policys together.

To take advantage of this great offer simply call 1300 360 574 and quote 1-7NIP9O. If calling from overseas please call: +61 - 8 - 7420 8833. This is a generic Allianz number for all overseas callers so you wiill need to ask for AFG sales quoting the above reference number.
