Whatever your circumstances, make sure that selling your house is the right move for you.
The important thing, particularly if you have financial worries, is to consider all your options and put yourself in the driving seat.
Here are some tips:
- Don't increase your borrowings
If you are struggling with debt, increasing your borrowings further can often make matters worse. - Speak to your lender
If you are having difficulty paying your mortgage talk to your lender. You can often reach an agreement to spread payments, switch to an interest only mortgage or even take a payment holiday until you are back on your financial feet.
Most lenders will allow you to stall any outstanding payments while you sell your house. - Get some advice
