UK House repossession or UK home repossessions are followed by property sales by the lenders. There may be a shortfall on the mortgage after sale, as repossession and 'forced' sales attract many seeking to buy 'distressed' homes at a large discount, from lenders or their agents. A borrower forced into repossession remains liable under the Mortgage Deed for any mortgage shortfall debt and the mortgage deed allows the lender 12 years to obtain payment. Lenders commence Mortgage Shortfall debt recovery once the property has been sold. The lender knows exactly what remains to be paid on the mortgage they provided. A negative balance on the mortgage remaining after the property sale becomes a 'mortgage shortfall'. The lender should issue a mortgage completion statement which proves their position to the borrower. The lender will at the same time request or demand payment for the Mortgage Shortfall Debt. Lender's Mortgage Shortfall Demands for payment need to be very carefully considered - otherwise the full debt may be claimed and then legally enforced by the lender. Legal enforcement by the lender will add further costs to the debt being claimed. A lender can add all recovery actions and fees to their claim. Further legal fees and recovery actions will mean the borrower will be liable to pay more and at that time any other properties they own may also be claimed upon by the lender - or will be at risk from the lender's legal actions. It is possible for a lender to obtain a debt judgment and apply for a charging order or order for sale on the same day.
