The Daily PollPoll: Should people who give up their mortgages be allowed on housing lists?
Anyone who goes through the mortgage arrears process but still ends up surrendering their home will be able to join the local authority housing waiting list. Good idea? Bad idea?
MORTGAGE HOLDERS WHO fall into arrears and end up voluntarily surrendering their homes will be allowed to apply to their local authority for housing.
Minister Jan O’Sullivan said that anyone who goes through the new Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process but ends up giving up their home if payments are still too high will be able to join the waiting list for housing in their area.
What do you think: Should people who give up their homes after falling into arrears be allowed on local authority housing lists?
