July 26, 2007 (FPRC) -- Earlier this year, property investment company RedSofa launched their THINK campaign, aimed at encouraging homeowners to consider the implications of securing additional debts against their home.
Recent interest rate rises, will see yet more pressure put on homeowners ability to service the debt secured against their homes, which in turn will increase the risk of potential repossession. In a recent report by repossession litigation specialists Moore Blatch, they estimate the number of people forced to sell their homes could be equal to the numbers that are actually suffering repossession.
Moore Blatch highlight that the continuing buoyancy of the housing market, despite the increasing interest rates, will enable people to sell, should they find themselves overstretched, however when the rate increases take effect and dampen the market this may result in these 'hidden repossessions' becoming real repossessions.
Speaking about the results of the THINK campaign, Jeremy Vernon, director of RedSofa said " I am really pleased with the initial interest in the THINK campaign, but we still have a great deal of work to be done, as may people who find themselves in such financial difficulties, bury their head in the sand, and tend not want to deal with the realities of their situation, sometimes leading to totally unnecessary and very damaging consequences."
For the people who have benefited from RedSofa's quick sale service, they have a different story to tell. Commenting on a testimonial provided by a recent new tenant in Crewe, who took advantage of RedSofa's sale and rent back service, Jeremy said; "It really does make being in this business worthwhile when you receive feedback like this, the property industry certainly has it's up and downs, but knowing you are allowing someone to stay in their family home and releasing them of the stress of repossession, this is very rewarding."
