Mortgage advice
Good Morning,
Posting for a family member (64F)
Okay, so:
- I owe roughly £55k on 3 mortgages
- the terms for them are up in July 2027
- one is at 1.89%, one at 2% and the main one (with the most money owing) is 7.24%
- they want me to pay £3,600 a month to pay them off by them term
- I’m only paying £1,200 a month so am in arrears of £2,400 each month
- I am in £6k arrears
- I had 2 years interest only so the capital wasn’t being paid
- Barclays want me to sell the house to pay them off, however if I paid Barclays what they want me to my expenditure would be £6,100
My earnings are:
- £2,050
- £762
- £428
- £15
- Total £3,255
Mortgages (what’s roughly owed):
- £32k @ 7.24%
- £12k @ 2.0%
- £10k @ 1.89%
- Total £54k
What would be appropriate next steps / the best options? Im thinking of doing an equity release. Bankruptcy might be an option.
