How to Stop House Repossession

By: Gary Sherman

A disturbingly increasing number of people are facing the threat of loosing their family homes because they can not keep up with paying their monthly installments on time. If you are among those and you are not alone.

With interest rates on the rise in UK, the repossession worries are real for many home owners. While the economy is going strong, the mortgage lenders are happy to lend whatever you want. It often translates to many times of your annual salary – or whatever their lending criteria is. But even the slight rise in interest rates makes your job vulnerable. Compound that with any pending divorce, sickness or any thing else and problems compound.

With lenders becoming ultra cautious, the threat of repossession for many people increases rapidly. Many lenders are known to take the proceedings to court within weeks of missed payments. I you are one of those unfortunate ones to have receive such notices then make sure not to give in so easily. Here are some pointers that may help:

1. Give your mortgage company a call

In my experience it is possible to work out a deal with your lender even at a last minute. They may be able to look into possibilities they have not looked into before – whether it is about lending you further money to clear your debts or a new payment plan. Even if you have been asked to appear in court for the proceedings to start, it is still possible to stop the repossession order. It is not all over yet.

2. Preparation

If you do have to go to court, make sure you are fully prepared. Keep copies of all the letters and other correspondence you have had with the mortgage company, work out a detailed daily expenditure that shows where you can save money so that you can begin paying your debts and be ready to explain to the court why you are in payment difficulties in the first place. You may even have a plan on how you are planning to sell your house quickly for cash, if need be. The court may grant an adjournment or delay the repossession order if you can show that you are prepared to take your financial responsibilities seriously.

3. Seek Best Advice

Good advisors are worth their weight in gold. Good lawyers and financial advisors are used to negotiating with lenders. They know how to approach them. They can also help you show ways to clear your debts without loosing your house. For example, a good advisor knows what correct procedures must a lender must follow and what forms and documents are needed for them to make their case.

A good financial advisor also knows which third party lender can help you in your current situation. Some times it is possible to arrange loan from a lender who is willing to ignore certain things that your current lender is adamant to take into account. Financial advisors can often explain situation and buy you some extra time as well. This may even stop repossession altogether. So it is worth investigating into good advisors.
