Thinking About Foreclosure | SR & Associates

What is foreclosure?

When you take out a mortgage, your home is held as security by your lender. This means that if you fall too far behind on your mortgage repayments, your lender can repossess and sell your home to cover the overdue amount. In most cases, foreclosed homes are either sold at auction, or sold directly by the lender after they have taken repossession. If the sale of the home is enough to cover the outstanding amount owing on your mortgage, other properties or items may not need to be repossessed.

If you’re concerned that your home could be foreclosed on in the future, there are some things you can do that might help. Some of these options might be:

  • Consider your expenses – If you’ve previously been able to afford your repayments, it might be worth looking at what’s changed. You might find it helpful to consider your expenses, and then make a plan of how to move forward with your repayments.
  • Take Action – If you feel that foreclosure is coming, don’t hesitate to take action and seek help. The quicker you take action, the more chance of a better result.
  • Get financial help – If you’re feeling overwhelmed with your financial situation and feel that you are unable to make your repayments, it might be best to seek some help. If you have been missing payments and are concerned that you are going to fall too far behind to catch up, it’s best to seek help earlier rather than later.
