Income Protection Insurance Northern Ireland | Elite Mortgages
Keep Your Income Flowing—Even If You Can’t Work
Your ability to earn is your most valuable asset. But what would happen if illness or injury stopped you from working?
At Elite Mortgages, we help clients across Portadown, Belfast, and throughout Northern Ireland protect their income—and their peace of mind—with the right income protection insurance.
What Is Income Protection?
Income protection insurance provides a regular monthly income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. It continues paying out until:
You’re well enough to return to work
The policy term ends (often retirement age)
Or the maximum claim period is reached (depending on your cover)
It helps cover essential bills, mortgage payments, food, childcare, and everyday living expenses—so you can focus on recovery, not stress about money.
Who Is Income Protection For?
It’s ideal for anyone who relies on their income, especially:
Salaried employees without long-term sick pay
Self-employed professionals or contractors
Homeowners with monthly financial commitments
Parents or single-income households
Business owners responsible for family and staff
It’s often overlooked—but arguably one of the most important insurances you can have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is income protection expensive?
It can be surprisingly affordable, especially for younger or healthier clients. You can also tailor cover to suit your budget.
Does it cover redundancy?
No—income protection is for illness or injury, not job loss. (We can advise on other forms of cover if redundancy is a concern.)
Is it worth it if I have savings?
Yes—savings can run out fast. Income protection provides long-term, consistent support when you need it most.
How long can it pay out for?
Policies can pay out for 1, 2, or 5 years—or even up to retirement age, depending on what you choose.
