Repossession Laws
Not Sure Of The Repossession Laws?
Whether you’re facing repossession, have missed a mortgage payment or just want to get clued up, finding out about repossession laws ensures you know where you stand. Like any other laws, they must be followed by the home-owner and the lender, no matter how far in arrears you may be with your mortgage repayments.
The important thing to remember about repossession laws is that they are there to protect you, the home-owner, from any unjust actions. They state that the mortgage lenders cannot just take your home away from you even if you are in several months of arrears and cannot afford to repay them. The first law of repossession your lender has to follow is that they must take you to court if they want to repossess your home and it is only a judge that can give the actual repossession order or have you evicted from your home. If you have tried all else and still face repossession, you might want to consider speaking to a debt management specialist.

Even if the situation gets so advanced that it goes to court, the statutory repossession laws still have to be followed which will mean that both you and the lender will have to go to make an appearance. The laws are in place to ensure that both yourself and the mortgage lender can both give both sides of the story. For example there could be a valid reason why you are in mortgage arrears and repossession laws state that the judge will have to take this account, along with the lenders reasons for wanting to repossess.
You can find out more about repossession laws by visiting the website of charity: the Homeowner Rescue Advice Centre or popping down to your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). One of the easiest ways of avoiding having your house repossessed, is to consider speaking to a debt management specialist.
