A property buyer cannot guarantee that proceedings will stop. Do not delay lender contact or urgent independent legal and debt advice while discussing a sale.
A property buyer cannot guarantee that proceedings will stop.
Urgent independent legal advice is essential.
The sale price and remaining mortgage balance both need careful review.
Questions and answers
Repossession concerns: your questions.
General information; your own professional advisers should check the details for your house.
No. That decision is not within a property buyer’s control. Speak to your lender, solicitor and an independent debt charity urgently.
No. Sharing the initial details and receiving a proposal does not oblige you to sell.
Your lender correspondence, an approximate mortgage balance, property address and any known title or condition issues will help the first conversation.
