In 2019, there were 4,580 home repossessions in the UK. That’s 88 per week and nearly 18 per day which means that 4,580 homes were claimed by lenders. But what exactly is home repossession – and what can you do to prevent this from happening to you? Here at Faster Property Solutions, we are here to guide you through it.
My house is being repossessed. Â What does it mean?
Well, in basic terms, a house repossession is a legal process where a mortgage lender (or secured loan provider) takes ownership of a property when a homeowner has substantial mortgage arrears. If this is the case for you, and you’re not able to agree on a payment plan then, as a last resort, your lender may decide on a court action.
This can definitely be avoided. You can stop your home repossession at any time, from the moment you are contacted about your mortgage arrears, to the point of eviction. At Faster Property Solutions, we specialise in stopping house repossession in the UK.  We have even managed to get the keys back for customers who have already been evicted from their homes!
How can I stop my home from being repossessed?
1. Faster Property Solutions can help stop your home repossession, by helping you reach an agreement with your lender. Â This may include communicating with your lender to attempt mortgage negotiation, preparing evidence and legal representation for your repossession hearing, and trying to come to a new financial agreement. Â This could be by:
- Â Extending your mortgage term
- Changing your mortgage type
- A payment holiday, or reduced payments
Whatever you decide, Faster Property Solutions can help you figure out your next steps.
2. We may even be able to help you file a new order to keep your home.
