Re: Any drawbacks using insurance company non bank for mortgage?

I had few offers back in time from insurances
- there were very competitive and better than bank offers

however all had in common

- conditions of the service was way less than what bank provided
- insurance was somewhere between the lines of the offering

and overall it would have been 0.3% cheaper to go with Insurance - conditions of "extraordinary termination" were not negotiable and given way too much leverage to the provider - I choose to do old-fashion pay more & sleep well.

Here is pretty good summary of reasons I didn't go with insurance mortgage :

[German]

14. Kündigung von Krediten. []
- der Kreditnehmer mit Zahlungen gegenüber Dritten in Verzug ist;
- die Vermögens- oder Ertragslage des Kreditnehmers nach Einschätzung und Ermessen der Kreditgeberin
wesentlich geändert hat
- die bestellten Sicherheiten nach geschäftsüblichen Beurteilungsgrundsätzen keine genügende Deckung mehr
aufweisen (der Entscheid, ob bestellte Sicherheiten noch eine genügende Deckung aufweisen, steht im alleinigen Ermessen der Kreditgeberin).

when compared against Bank conditions where there is one liner :

- should I be behind on payment for 60-day they have right to extraordinary termination - that's it.
this varies between institutions. hard to say that there is a trend without more data. i've seen bank mortgages with more conditions and insurance mortgages without the 3rd party default clauses.
