The further into the year we get the closer we are to having a recovered economy and the less the recession can affect home owners. When the recession first hit in 2009 the amount of homes being repossessed and taken from families was growing at an alarming rate, however in the last few months that rate has fallen thanks to the economy strengthening and the property marketing gaining traction.
However even with the repossession rate falling down to previous levels homeowners are being warned by the Council of Mortgage Lenders that there are still a number of homes that face being repossessed. With around 12,000 homes currently facing repossession the government is quickly producing information to help homeowners that are struggling with their mortgage repayments.
Since the repossession rate has increased in the early stages of the recession many property firms saw the great opportunity to set up a service which puts an end to repossession and offer quick sales services for people looking to sell their houses quickly. However as with any great opportunity there is always a number of less than reputable services set up that can give homeowners a poor deal for their property.
Quick home sale firms offered to either buy the house for cash quickly, usually within a few days, or buy the house and then rent it back to the owner. This allowed homeowners who struggled with mounting debt to get a large amount of cash quickly to cover other payments and get rid of their debts.
While many homeowners no longer face the risk of repossession thanks to initiatives and systems put in place by the government such as lower interest rates and a reduced VAT, there are still some industry professionals that stress the economy has not fully recovered and properties may be repossessed in future due to falls in the economy. If the economy falters in the future the number of repossessions is likely to snowball as people take on more debt.
