How to Avoid Repossession: Your Options in Norfolk

Falling behind on your mortgage can feel scary — but you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of homeowners across Norfolk face the threat of repossession. The good news? You do have options.

Here’s how to take back control — and how selling your house quickly can help you avoid losing everything to the bank.

What Happens if You Do Nothing?

If you miss mortgage payments, your lender can start court action to repossess your house. Once that happens, they’ll sell it at auction — often for well below market value — and you could still be left with debt if the sale doesn’t cover the mortgage and fees.

It’s almost always better to act early. Lenders would rather get paid than repossess — and buyers will pay you more than the bank will.

Your Options to Stop Repossession

1. Talk to Your Lender

Many lenders will help you set up a payment plan if you act early. Don’t bury your head in the sand — speak to them as soon as you know you’re struggling.

2. Apply for Government Support

You might be eligible for Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) or other local grants. It won’t fix everything but can help buy time.

3. Sell Your House Before the Bank Does

If you know you can’t afford to stay, selling your house quickly can stop repossession, clear your debts, and protect your credit score. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.

Why a Quick Sale Works

When you sell to a cash buyer, you get:

✔️ A guaranteed offer in writing — no chain to fall through.

✔️ A timeline that suits your situation — many complete in 17–28 days.

✔️ Your legal fees covered.

✔️ Less stress — no viewings, no ‘For Sale’ board.
