Stop repossession with a fast cash sale

Sell your home before a repossession order takes effect. Secure a certain cash sale and settle your mortgage arrears. Protect your credit file by avoiding formal repossession.

Facing repossession is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can face. A fast, certain sale can resolve mortgage arrears before court action concludes. Selling directly for cash can complete before a repossession date arrives.

Our guide covers the repossession process, court timelines, and your options at each stage. Read our in-depth guide on stopping repossession for more detail.

Settle your mortgage arrears quickly. Avoid a repossession appearing on your credit file. Complete your sale before your court date.

What it means to sell your house to stop repossession

Being in this position means your mortgage lender has started, or threatened, repossession proceedings. This usually follows a period of missed mortgage payments. A fast sale can resolve the arrears before the process concludes.

Why timing is critical once repossession proceedings begin

Once repossession proceedings begin, time becomes critical. Court dates and lender deadlines don’t wait for a slow open-market sale.

  • Court hearing dates arriving quickly: Once a claim is issued, a hearing date is often set within weeks.
  • Lenders proceeding regardless of a slow sale: A lender is unlikely to pause proceedings simply because a sale is underway.
  • Mounting arrears and additional charges: Interest and fees continue to accrue throughout the process.

How repossession can affect your finances and credit long-term

A completed repossession can affect your finances for years afterward.

  • A repossession recorded on your credit file: This can make future borrowing, including a mortgage, considerably harder.
  • Potential shortfall debt after the sale: If the property sells for less than owed, you may still owe the difference.
  • Legal and court costs added to your debt: These charges are typically added to the amount you owe.
