The bank of England reports indicate that the property prices in the UK were declining faster than their UK counterparts. More and more home owners have been requesting house repossession advice.
The number of repossessions in the 2nd quarter of the year was 11,054, up 71% compared with a year earlier according to reports from reputable national bodies such as BBC Money.
Recently reports indicate repossessions are up by more than 70% compared to the same time last year. Unfortunately, the amount of mortgages going into arrears has been steadily going up.
Ofcourse all of these will not directly end up as official repossessed property, house owners have been urged to contact their bank/lender as soon as they find themselves struggling to make repayments.
Other data also indicates this trend in the UK property market. The amount of new home loans has decreased.
It's calculated that gross lending decreased by about 26% in the 2nd quarter of the year when comparing with the previous year.
It's reported that less new loans have been awarded to people who could only offer a deposit of 10% of the value of the property. This was down from a peak of 15% of new lending in early 2007 to 10% this time.
Looking to the future, there are more concerns with negative equity issus as banks such as the Halifax are expecting property prices to fall further, up to 2.5 million homeowners could get into the red and have negative equity.
