S Strawberry Guest 18 Nov 2005 #1 Just taken out life assurance on first mortgage. Is the specified illness cover worth the extra expense? At moment my policy costs €155 per month??

Mortgage protection for the average first time buyer ( say a 28 year old single person borrowing €250k) should be around €200 a year. Brendan
