Introduction
Engaging in a real estate project is an important step for many residents of Caudry and its surroundings. Whether you are a first-time buyer or already a homeowner, taking out a mortgage loan represents a major investment and a commitment over several years. Yet, one aspect is sometimes overlooked: borrower insurance. Crucial but often misunderstood, it protects both your home and your project in case of unforeseen events. At Allianz Caudry - FRANCOIS JONAS, we support you in understanding and choosing the insurance best suited to your situation, to ensure the serenity of your real estate future.
What is borrower insurance and why is it mandatory?
Borrower insurance is an insurance contract that guarantees the repayment of your mortgage loan in case of life events such as death, incapacity to work, or disability. It secures both the borrower and the lending institution: in the event of a claim covered by the contract, the insurance takes over to honor the remaining payments. For the majority of French banks, this insurance is a condition for granting the mortgage loan. It helps protect your family and preserve your assets while reassuring the lender about the repayment of the borrowed capital. Borrower insurance is therefore a key element of any successful real estate purchase project.
The essential guarantees of borrower insurance
When you subscribe to borrower insurance, it is essential to understand the guarantees offered. The main protections include:
- Death: coverage of the remaining capital in case of the borrower's disappearance.
- Total and irreversible loss of autonomy (PTIA): the insurance pays off the loan if the borrower can no longer perform any paid activity.
- Temporary incapacity to work (ITT): coverage of monthly payments during the borrower's incapacity to perform their job.
- Partial or total permanent disability (IPP/IPT): partial or total reimbursement of the capital owed depending on the degree of disability. Some plans also cover job loss as an option. At Allianz Caudry, we provide personalized advice to adjust your coverage to your real needs, your professional and family situation.
How to choose the right insurance for your mortgage loan?
The diversity of offers makes choosing borrower insurance sometimes complex. Many criteria come into play: age, health status, profession, amount and duration of the loan, desired level of coverage... The important thing is to opt for a formula that suits your profile while meeting the bank's requirements. Since the Lemoine law, you are free to choose your insurer and change contracts at any time, without fees or penalties, if your new contract meets the equivalent guarantees required. Our team in Caudry is here to listen, compare, explain, and assist you in selecting the most relevant and advantageous offer for your project.

Recent legislative changes: your new rights
The borrower insurance market has undergone several major changes in recent years to strengthen consumer protection. The Lemoine law, which came into effect in 2022, allows borrowers to terminate and change borrower insurance at any time, without fees, for anyone who has taken out a mortgage loan. This advancement offers borrowers more freedom and negotiating power, allowing them to reduce the cost of their insurance while maintaining suitable guarantees. For clear and reliable information about your rights, consult the official Public Service website on borrower insurance or the guide from the Prudential Control and Resolution Authority (ACPR).
Key figures and trends in 2026
In 2026, the majority of real estate acquisitions in France involve a bank loan, and thus almost systematically borrower insurance. According to the latest data from the Credit Housing Observatory/CSA, nearly 9 out of 10 French people who have taken out a mortgage have borrower insurance coverage. This protection is identified by more than 80% of individuals as an essential security criterion for their family and assets. Expectations are increasingly turning towards the personalization of guarantees and transparency of conditions, values that our agency upholds daily.
