We have an interest only mortgage but we went with a decreasing term insurance policy as it was so much cheaper and we are making overpayments each month. If you are only paying off the interest and don't have any other investments to pay the difference you might be better off with level term. We actually took out one policy each because if you have a joint policy it will only pay out once and then neither of you are covered thereafter.
