If you mean mortgage protection it is usually the amount you require per month eg £100 of insurance cover per month might be £6 per £100 for example

If you are talking about bldgs insurance then the lender should tell you in their estimation of how much the property would costs to rebuild and you should insure this for a minimum of that amount.

What is forced mortgage insurance?

Force Placed Insurance is coverage obtained by the lien holder to cover their interest in the financed property when the buyer fails to meet the required coverage conditions of the finance note. No coverage is provided to the buyer at all, only the lien holder. Basically if the finance company has obtained force placed insurance coverage then the buyer is already in default on the terms of the finance contract. The cost of the coverage is added to your bill or finance note without benefit of coverage to the buyer.

Is Mortgage Protection Life Insurance a good idea?

Mortgage Protection Life Insurance is a good idea if you want to protect your mortgage. It pays the outstanding balance of your mortgage if the mortgagor (insured person) dies. Mortgage protection life insurance coverage is usually in the form of decreasing term insurance, with the amount of coverage decreasing as the outstanding mortgage debt decreases. Usually, the proceeds of the mortgage protection life insurance are paid to the beneficiary, which is the mortgage company holding the mortgage loan. Some people choose instead to buy level term life insurance in the amount of the mortgage, and the benefits are paid to the insured's beneficiary (family member), who in turn can use the proceeds for any reason, including to pay the mortgage.

Are you required to have flood insurance by law?

NO, But if you live in a designated "Flood Zone" and have financed your home through a mortgage company, then it is probably part of your mortgage contract that you signed with your lender that you would maintain a flood insurance policy until you pay off the mortgage note. If you fail to purchase the required coverage you are in breach of contract with your mortgage lender. By law and by the terms of your mortgage agreement they can purchase it for you and add the cost to your monthly house payment. Failure or refusal to maintain the required coverage and pay for the cost of the flood insurance could be the first sign of an eventual foreclosure in the near future.
