Buying a home changes your insurance needs. Here's what to review when you get the keys.
Life insurance — Covers your mortgage if the worst happens. Trauma cover — Lump sum if you're diagnosed with a serious illness. Income protection — Replaces income if you can't work. Health insurance — Faster access to private treatment.
Many people only review insurance at purchase time. We recommend an annual review — especially after major life events like having children or changing jobs.
