Home Repossession FAQ’s

How can I stop house repossession?

You’ll need to present your lender with a clear, reasonable plan that could work to resolve the debts you owe. Remember that it’s better to present some kind of repayment strategy, even if you think there’s little chance of success – taking no action throughout the process could give your lender the legal upper hand.

Starting a written dialogue with the mortgage lender will at least buy you more time if nothing else. You will need to keep copies of all the letters like these that you send to your lender as well as everything they send you. It’s tempting to think that a few phone calls can be a shortcut for you, but you’re going to want to generate a paper trail that you can show in court if necessary.

Instruct us and we will work with you to understand your circumstances. We will then be able to propose a solution to you, which may include being able to arrange the finance for you that you require.

How can I pay off mortgage arrears?

You’ll need to start by contacting your lender. Look at the last mortgage statement or letter you received from your lender to get the correct address and the name of the person or division of people handling your loan. Keep the tone of your letters kind but formal.

Tell them in your own words a summary of why you’re behind on the mortgage payments and how you’d like to make up the payments. You may find it useful to include an optimistic statement about how your financial matters will eventually improve due to your plan to, for example, increase your income, receive insurance benefits, get government financial assistance etc.

Close on a positive note by mentioning anything good about your history, like previous payments you’ve made on time and if you still have equity in your home, meaning that your property’s worth more than the amount due on your mortgage. You’ll want to give your lender a good reason to file your case in their “not urgent” category of papers. They’ll appreciate hearing something from you much more than waiting around to see if you care enough to respond to their notices about late payments.
