How The Lender Will Sell Your Property
Your home will either be put on the market in the normal way through an estate agent, or some lenders prefer to sell repossessed properties at auction. Most will get at least one valuation to ensure they get a fair price but because your lender’s main concern is getting back the money you owe as quickly as possible, property sold at auction often sells well below it’s market value. If your property sells for less than the debt you owe, the lender is then entitled to claim the remainder for up to 12 years. For this reason it is highly recommended that you look into the option of selling your house yourself and obtaining the best possible price.
