Life insurance for the house gets expensive with age and you can switch

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 18:15

The premium of life insurance associated with home loans becomes more expensive as age advances. Paradoxically, the cost of insurance increases every year, precisely when the value of the loan debt decreases over time. This means that, in the final years of the credit, the owner may be paying very high insurance for an increasingly smaller debt. Many people are unaware that they are not obligated to keep the insurer that the bank initially indicated. Banks usually suggest or associate an insurer with the mortgage, but the client has the right to choose another insurance company that offers more advantageous conditions. This freedom of choice allows borrowers to save money, especially in later stages of the loan, when life insurance represents a significant expense in the family budget. The lack of information about this possibility leads many consumers to pay high premiums for years without questioning whether there are more economical alternatives on the market.
