Hi,
The home insurance you mean is fire insurance or mortgage insurance?

If it's mortgage insurance, the plans that offers no cash value is always the cheapest. For example MRTA and term life insurance.
However, nowadays the home buyers prefer MLTA which offers a cash value when the loan has been settled. They don't want their premium paid to be totally burnt. Since they can afford to pay slightly higher for the premium, why not they just pay slightly more so that at the end they can get back their premium paid + interest?

Well, you may combine your life insurance as MLTA also, but you have to make it clear what's the purpose you getting life insurance at first? And also do the life insurance coverage alone enough to cover for the loan + extra money to family. Life insurance is for family, MLTA is to cover property loan burden. It's always better to prepare before event occur.

Since saving is a good habit, many people will also getting MLTA as a saving in long term as some MLTA will have guaranteed surrender value, so you will getting back the
cash + interest + free protection all in one.
