This Christmas you dont want to be worrying about the repossession of your home and there are a number of ways in which you can put it on hold or even stop it completely before Christmas arrives. The different ways to respond to repossession depends on what stage in the process you are at, if your court date is tomorrow then there isnt anything which you can do.

If you know that you are unable to make your payments then you should take action before you miss a payment and talk to your lender, if you explain the situation to them they will be able to help work out a new way to pay for your mortgage. You can opt to pay for only your interest so that although youre not paying off any of your mortgage the interest on it is not building up and you are making payments towards the mortgage. You are also in a position to contact your lender when you are receiving letters informing you that you are behind on your payments. Your lender does not want to repossess your home from you, and it is not an easy thing for them to do, because once they have repossessed your home they then have to arrange to sell your home to claim the money back which you owe them.

If you are in the position where you are receiving letters about going to court or even have a court date then it is too late for you to contact your lender however you can still avoid repossession. The only way you can now avoid repossession is by selling your home.

When it comes to selling your home the most obvious route to choose is the property market however it is still slow moving and it could result in your home still being on the market when your court date arrives. If this is the case than your home can still be repossessed, there is much higher chance of this happening if you only have a few weeks between putting your house on the market and your court date. However, there is no need to worry because there is another way to sell your home which doesnt involve the property market and which will allow you to sell your home quickly.

The quickest way to sell your home is with a quick house sale company, they will be able to take control of the sale and have your house bought from you within a week. A quick house sale will be able to give you the cash you need to pay off your mortgage and to start again without the worry of debt. When you choose a quick house sale the amount you are quoted and accept is the amount which you will receive, there are no hidden costs or any costs at all to come out of that amount. You will not need to pay estate agents fees as an estate agent will not be involved, you will also have no need to pay for solicitors fees because in-house solicitors will carry out the sale. You are able to choose to have your own solicitor but it can lengthen the process and you will have to pay their fees.

Choosing one of these ways to avoid repossession will put you in a great position this Christmas because it will not be looming over your head and you will be able to enjoy yourself. It is important to act soon when repossession is looming, the quicker you act the more chance you have of being able to stop the repossession and working out a way to keep your home. Repossession can be stopped as long as you make the right choices once you are aware that your home in under the threat of being repossessed.
