What is Income Protection Insurance?

Income protection insurance is a policy that pays a regular monthly income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, subject to the policy’s terms, conditions and definitions. Payments usually continue until you’re able to return to work, the policy term ends, or you reach retirement age, depending on how the policy is set up.

This type of cover is designed to protect your most important asset — your ability to earn an income. It can help cover essential outgoings such as mortgage or rent payments, household bills and everyday living costs during periods when you’re unable to work.

Why use a Broker for
Income Protection Insurance?

Income protection insurance is one of the most valuable forms of personal protection, but it’s also one of the most complex. Policy definitions, exclusions and claim criteria can differ widely between insurers, making comparisons difficult without expert guidance.

At Holbrook Property Finance, we take time to understand your occupation, income structure, employment status and financial commitments. With access to the whole of the market, we compare policies from trusted insurers and explain the differences clearly, so you understand exactly how cover would work if you needed to claim.

Using a broker also helps ensure your policy is structured correctly — including benefit amount, waiting period and policy length — reducing the risk of gaps in cover or misunderstandings at claim stage.
