Why do I need to understand the importance of policy excess for mortgage brokers?

It is crucial that you understand your policy excess and how it can be applied in practice because excesses for mortgage brokers can be very high, with some starting at £5,000.

It can be complicated too but we can advise you.

Most excesses will apply to “each and every claimant”. If your excess, is £5,000 and it applies to each and every “claimant”, if you receive five simultaneous claims you may be facing a total policy excess of £25,000.

It’s important you check and audit your advisers and ensure no mistakes are being repeated.
