mortgage life insurance while abroad

[bluestack]

insurance AND mortgages, two interesting topics in one thread, surely not !!

I'm planning on going to the US to train, and to offset being out of the UK housing market have bought a rental property.

All fine and dandy, until I started getting quotes for life insurance while away.
Have been getting quotes of base premium +£80 p/m because of the flying, and that's not including critical illness cover.

And these are from the companies that will insure me abroad.

Anyone else been down this route, US bound, with a mortgage in the UK and had any luck with decent rates of insurance.

I don't have any any dependants - so technically could do without it, but mortgage company wants it and critical illness is important.

Cheers.
