any people have been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown and closure of businesses. The government has told mortgage providers to offer mortgage payment holidays to those who may be struggling to keep up with their repayments on a reduced income. This is to try and prevent people from losing their homes as a result of the pandemic.
Here are some things you need to know when trying to decide whether to take a mortgage holiday.
What is a mortgage holiday?
Homeowners can currently ask their lender for a three-month mortgage payment holiday. During those three months, you do not have to make your usual monthly payment. The amount you owe on your mortgage will remain the same and will still be subject to interest. After the initial three months, you may be able to apply for a further three months if you are still on a reduced income.
