I agree you should never go into repossession if you can possibly avoid it. You definately will not get council accomodation - and nobody gives you any pity whatsoever. They basically see it as your problem, and your fault.(posted 8331 days ago)Consider selling at once.
Keep your lender informed at all times.
Keep copies of all correspondence between you and the lender.
Try to keep it all in writing.
Consider renting your property out to cover the mortgage until you are able to sell the property.
Consider everything but please don't see repossession as an easy option. It's definately the last thing you want to do. It's a nightmare.
