Does selling clear mortgage arrears?
Yes, selling your property can clear mortgage arrears if the sale price covers what you owe.
When the sale completes:
- Your mortgage lender is paid first
- Arrears and fees are cleared
- Any remaining balance is paid to you
If the sale price is not enough to cover the full amount, you may still owe a shortfall.
Selling early can help you avoid repossession and reduce additional fees building up over time.
