How repossession works — and where a sale fits
Repossession in England follows a set path: arrears letters, a claim in the county court (for Birmingham, the Civil Justice Centre), a possession hearing, and — if no arrangement holds — a possession order and eviction date. At almost every stage up to eviction, you retain the right to sell the property yourself, and courts will usually look favourably on a genuine sale that clears the debt.
What matters is certainty. A sale through an agent can take months and collapse at survey; a lender's solicitors will not stop the clock for a maybe. A written cash offer with a fixed completion date is the kind of evidence that persuades a court to adjourn and let a sale complete.
What a fast sale achieves
Selling before repossession completes does three things: it pays off the mortgage and arrears, it usually leaves you any remaining equity rather than watching a lender sell at a forced-sale price and deduct their costs, and it keeps a repossession order off your record — which matters enormously for renting or buying afterwards.
We can make a written offer within 24 hours and complete in as little as 7 days where a hearing or eviction date demands it. Your solicitor deals directly with the lender to redeem the mortgage from the proceeds.
If you are behind but proceedings have not started
Earlier is always better. If you are in arrears but no claim has been issued, you have the most options: more time to sell, more equity preserved, and often the possibility of a completion date that lets you plan your next move properly rather than leaving under court pressure.
Stop repossession in Birmingham — FAQs
Can I sell my house after a possession order has been made?
Usually yes, right up until eviction — but the earlier you act the more options remain. With a written cash offer and a fixed completion date, courts will often adjourn eviction to let a genuine sale complete. Contact us immediately and tell us the dates involved.
Will selling clear everything I owe?
The sale proceeds first redeem the mortgage and any secured arrears; your solicitor then accounts to you for the balance. If you owe more than the property will sell for, you would need your lender's agreement to a shortfall sale — we can still help, but the lender must consent.
Will anyone find out? I do not want a board outside.
The sale is completely private: no listing, no board, no viewings. Only you, us and the solicitors are involved.
Should I also get debt advice?
Yes. Free, independent help is available from Citizens Advice, StepChange and Shelter, and Birmingham City Council has a statutory duty to help people facing homelessness. A fast sale solves the property side; they can help with everything around it.
