An Essential Guide to Protecting Your Home and Family

Caz Blake-Symes • September 11, 2025

Bristol, Bath and Exeter Mortgages Online always recommend a Fully Protected Mortgage

As an experienced  Mortgage Broker, we are not only mortgage specialists, but we can also access a huge selection of providers for your insurance protection needs too.


Many banks and building societies, and estate agents are “tied” to one insurer, and therefore cannot compete with a specialist like us on cost or benefits, as they only offer one product. This is a complex area and, in our view, is sometimes a more important decision than the mortgage. Whereas a mortgage deal may only last two or three years, the right protection could last the whole term!

We therefore offer a personal consultation with you and one of our experienced advisers to discuss your individual requirements to enable us to provide the personal recommendations to best suit your needs and circumstances.
