What cover tends to look like here

Stockport house prices, and what they mean for cover.

The median home sold in Stockport went for £207,250, across 316 sales. On a 15% deposit that is a mortgage of around £175,000 — which is the number most people here are really asking about when they ask how much life cover they need.

Where purchase prices are lower, the mortgage is rarely the whole risk. Losing an income for months through illness typically bites sooner than a death benefit would ever pay, which is why a monthly benefit can be worth more here than a large one-off sum.

Homes here run from around £130,000 to £238,000 depending on type, so the mortgage behind two Stockport households can differ by £100,000 or more. That is why the right amount of cover is worked out per household rather than per postcode.

This is a general illustration based on published sale prices in these postcodes. It is not a quote, not a recommendation, and not based on your circumstances. What you actually need depends on your mortgage, your income, your family and what other cover you already have.
