Understanding Repossession

There are various reasons why a resident of a house or flat may be unable to keep up with their rent or mortgage payments. They may have been made unemployed, become sick, experienced a rise in living costs, fallen into debt, or gone through a divorce. If the house or flat is rented, then the landlord will look to evict the tenant through legal means. 

If the house is owned with a mortgage, and the homeowner has fallen behind with mortgage payments, then the bank will issue a number of letters demanding that the outstanding mortgage payments be paid. Threats of legal action will follow. If too many mortgage payments are missed, the bank will look to take full ownership of the property. In other words, the bank will repossess the property and the homeowner will get nothing.

Credit Score

The prospect of repossession is scary in that it means losing your home. Not only that but there can be significant legal costs involved. If debts are also a factor and these debts keep escalating, then this can also lead to bankruptcy. Which is a long process and significantly affects any future mortgage applications. A house repossession will stay on your record for 7 years. It will have a heavy effect on your credit score. It is therefore advisable to avoid repossession altogether.

What Are The Steps Involved In Repossession?

Taking out a mortgage to buy a home can be an exciting time as it means getting on the property ladder. However, banks are notoriously ruthless when it comes to lending money. They are unforgiving when it comes to repaying the mortgage loan that was taken out on purchasing the property. Unlike borrowing money from a friend where there may be a grace period given and some compassion for difficult circumstances. A bank will do everything legally possible to be repaid the outstanding mortgage loan.

The first step of any house repossession is for the lending bank to make contact with the homeowner. The one who took out the mortgage to inform them that they are late making a repayment. This is done promptly, so even if one payment is missed the bank will send a letter or make contact by telephone. If multiple payments are missed, a number of attempts at contact will be made. Usually, both via mail and phone, until a final demand letter is sent.

By the time the final demand letter is sent, legal action will already be underway. Which is a difficult and stressful process. It involves attending a possession hearing with the result often being that the bank takes, or repossesses, the property.
