Repossession Process

The repossession process begins when borrowers fail to make payments on any loan secured on their property and fall in to arrears. If the situation continues to escalate then they could be in danger of having their home repossessed.

Under the terms of the mortgage contract, lenders have the power to take back control of the property and sell it to recover any arrears and outstanding balances. However in these circumstance  it is very likely that the lender will eventually sell the property for a knock down price at a public auction. If you are in negative equity or your loan is higher than 80% of the value of your property (LTV) it is also likely that the sale will not cover the debt to the lender and they will still pursue this from you.

In many cases this can lead to Bankruptcy as the only way of moving on in life without the burden of a huge debt with nothing to show for it.

There are however several stages where borrowers have the opportunity to prevent this from happening.
