Mortgage Rescue Scheme

If you are already a homeowner but are struggling to keep up with your mortgage repayments and are facing repossession you may be eligible for the Government's Mortgage Rescue scheme.  The scheme enables homeowners to sell their property to a Registered Provider and rent it back from them. 

If you have equity in your property you may be able to take advantage of a Shared Equity option where you still own part of your home and pay rent to a Registered Provider on the other part.
