Many face repossession battle according to National Homebuyers

As many as 60,000 families face a battle to avoid repossession in 2008.

[UKPRwire, Wed Apr 23 2008] That is according to the Liberal Democrat party, which was commenting on official disposable income figures.

The party claims that tens of thousands of families will struggle to avoid repossession as the global credit crunch rolls on.

Liberal Democrat shadow communities and local government secretary, Julia Goldsworthy, said that the government has done little to help.

"As living costs rise, and the credit crunch starts to bite, families are forced to cut back on essentials in order to keep a roof over their heads," she commented.

"But ministers are not prepared to deal with the housing crash as the safety nets have been withdrawn. There are almost a million fewer social homes to rent than during the last recession while the number of families waiting for housing has skyrocketed.

"This government has buried its head in the sand, and it is overstretched families who are paying the price," added Ms Goldsworthy.

Fast property sale expert Julian King comments, "As the UK's largest consumer-facing fast property buyer, we can confirm that tens of thousands of homeowners are already struggling with their mortgage payments.

"As the banks become more aggressive with their policies, this problem is likely to augement to epic proportions. People in this situation need to find a mortage rescue solution sooner rather than later to save them from repossesion".


Mr King is a director of the UK's leading fast home buyer, National Homebuyers. The company is also the UK leader in Sell and Rent Back products where the homeowner can sell property quickly to release cash, but remain living in their home. This is one of many Mortgage rescue Schemes offered by the company.
