Many of us have a mortgage loan contracted with banks. To obtain credit, you must hire life insurance and multi-risk insurance (building only) for housing.
You can do this with the Bank or use mediators and / or insurance. Banks tend to “require” the hiring of insurance to lower the spread. Since that is not written in the contract with the Bank that you have to hire them in the Bank, may seek the best solution for you and your wallet. On this subject, read an article I published earlier.
Consider well the hedging instruments. Hire with Total and Permanent Disability – Disability is one which removes the possibility to produce and earn your pay. She is determined based on the medical percentages (minimum 66%) Disability Table. There is Total Permanent Disability (100%) that requires a third party to satisfy the most basic needs. Do not be just for this disability.
There are life insurance with Total and Permanent Disability equal to or above 70%. It is cheaper but excludes disability of 66% to 69% and still are enough. Do not subscribe this insurance.
Subscribe to Total and Permanent Disability 66%.
Read the exclusions and care insurance with exclusive Death or Disability resulting from occupational activity – Santander has a life insurance policy in this way. In insurance, disability resulting from the exercise of professional activity is excluded.
You can hire a life insurance policy for a capital than required by the Bank. Example:
It has an outstanding of 100,000
Decides to hire an insurance 200,000
In case of disability, the Bank receives the amount of principal outstanding and the remainder goes to the insured, in case of death goes to the heirs.
Imagine the following scenario:
Couple
The capital is 100,000
One spouse dies or becomes invalid
Here the insurer pays the bank the outstanding principal balance and the insured person or their heirs. If the amount outstanding at the date of the accident was 90,000, this money goes to the Bank and the remaining 10,000 will go to the heirs or spouse invalid.
If the couple died or became invalid at the same time, the insurer pays 90,000 to the Bank, but will pay 110,000 (100,000 + 10,000) to the heirs or the couple.

When you want to request a quote for insurance, there are several elements that can influence the price of it.
I will give some examples:
Car Insurance:
- Gender – female is cheaper
- Date of birth and date of the letter – the more years the better
- Past history – the more years of insurance in your name, the better
- Claims – less is cheaper
- Characteristics of the vehicle – passenger car is the cheapest, then Light Commercial, Mixed (between 1800 kg and 2900 kg GVW) Caminhetas (2900 kg to 3500 kg Gross Weight) are the most expensive. Within each category, the displacement, power and capacity to influence price
- Location – there are cheaper than other areas. Porto, Lisbon and Braga are the most expensive.
- Occupation – one or another insurer, influences the price.
Housing Multi-risk insurance, condominium and stores or industries :
- Year of construction – there are different prices depending on the year of construction. The more years the higher the price, even with reconstruction work, plumbing or electricity, although these works help lower the price.
- Systems for Protection against theft or fire – the more the better price
- Location – can influence the coverage of Seismic Phenomena
- Type of areas – Urban, Rural, Industrial
Even if you only want to secure filling, the insurer needs to know the characteristics of the building where the filling is.
Insurance Accidents employed or Independent:
- Occupation – Construction activity is a greater risk than the office worker, right? Soon, the price is also different.
- Payroll – The higher, the higher the price
Personal Accident Insurance:
- Age
- Profession – to occupational hazards
- Risk activities – cycling or other vehicles 2 / 3 wheels, extreme sports … they increase the price of insurance
- Capital and coverages and deductibles – the higher were the capitals and the lower cover and the deductibles are, the higher the insurance premium
Health Insurance :
- Age
- Clinical situation – in case of serious problems in the past may lead to the refusal of insurance by the insurer or it may refuse treatment linked to insure the health
- Capital Markets, Insurance and Franchising – The more, the higher the price, the franchises, the more the lower the price
Life Insurance:
- Age
- Clinical situation – in case of serious problems in the past may lead to the refusal of insurance by the insurer or it may exclude claims related to this same state of health. The policy that is mentioned.
- Capital, Covers – The more, the higher the price
These are the principal insurance that each of us, in private and companies usually hire. It is so with an idea of what it takes to get a quote for insurance.
