What happens when a property is repossessed

Falling behind on mortgage payments can be a terrifying experience, and if left unaddressed, can lead to repossession proceedings. Even if you've been paying your mortgage for years, a sudden change in your financial situation can put you at risk of losing your home.

Facing the possibility of repossession can cause a great deal of personal pain and challenges. The fear and uncertainty of losing one's home can be overwhelming, and the impact on credit scores and financial stability can be long-lasting. If your house is repossessed you will be unable to take out further mortgages, personal loans, or credit cards for 6 years. The repossession process can involve legal action and eviction, further compounding the stress and upheaval.

It’s important to make sure you understand the process and the actions you can take now for the best possible outcome and the options for selling your home now.

The Repossession Process

Step 1:

Notice of Default

This notice is sent by the lender to the borrower and specifies the amount of money that the borrower is behind on their payments. The borrower is given a set period of time to catch up on their payments, typically around three months. If the borrower fails to make up the missed payments within this time frame, the lender may proceed with the repossession process.

If you are at risk of repossession,
take the following steps right now

Call your lender straight away

It's essential to contact your lender as soon as possible to discuss your situation and explore your options. Your lender is required by law to work with you to find a solution, and may be able to offer alternative repayment plans or other forms of assistance.

Selling your home yourself

If you're unable to keep up with your mortgage payments, selling your home may be the best option to avoid repossession. It gives you the opportunity to pay off your outstanding debt and avoid further legal action.

Don't give your keys back to your lender

While it may be tempting to hand over the keys and walk away from the property, voluntary repossession is not in your best interests. It can still result in a repossession order being granted, and you may be liable for any outstanding debt on the property. You will not be able to live in your home anymore and it can effect benefits, your credit rating and your options if you need housing help from the council.
