Research has been conducted on the circumstances behind people losing their homes to repossession, which raises the question; can repossessions be predicted from an early stage? It is thought that this research may be valuable in preventing repossessions in the future.

While this may be so, it is of no help to thousands of homeowners across the UK who are already in arrears with their mortgage, and who are faced with the real possibility of losing their homes in the near future. If you are one of the many in this predicament then you may wish to give some thought to one of the companies who offer a sell property and rent back deal.

When taking this option I could sell my house and rent it back, which means I can pay off my mortgage arrears along with the mortgage and remain in the property by paying rent that was more affordable than the mortgage repayments. Should my luck change for the better financially, in the future I could take the option of buying back the property? Other benefits to selling this way is that often the sale goes ahead in just weeks, which relieves the stress and worry associated with repossession and there are no fees to pay out.
