Many Barnsley homeowners coming off ultra-low 2021–2022 fixed deals in 2026 are seeing payments increase by £200–£600 per month.

This sudden jump is known as the 2026 mortgage reset, and it’s leading many people into mortgage arrears, missed payments, and financial stress.

If the new payment is unaffordable, you may want to sell before the reset date to avoid arrears and repossession action.

Yes. If you know you can’t afford your new 2026 mortgage payment, you can sell your house before your fixed rate ends, often within 2–4 weeks.

This avoids late payment fees, arrears, credit file damage, and lender pressure.

We buy property fast across Barnsley (S70–S75), allowing you to exit cleanly before arrears begin.

Ideally 3–12 months before your fixed rate ends.

Acting early gives you more control and makes it possible to:

• Sell before arrears start

• Avoid repossession

• Protect your credit rating

• Plan a stress-free move-out date

If you're worried now, this is the right time to act.

Yes. If your payment jumps significantly, selling before the reset is likely the safest option.

Many Barnsley homeowners avoid mortgage arrears, court letters, or default notices by completing a quick sale before the new rate begins.

It’s often the difference between keeping control — and losing it.

Do not wait.

If you’re already struggling and your fixed rate ends soon, arrears can snowball quickly.

A fast sale can clear your mortgage balance, stop arrears from growing, and prevent repossession action.

We regularly help Barnsley homeowners with 1–6 months of arrears or default letters.

In many cases, yes.

If you’ve received a Missed Payment Notice, Default Letter, Pre-Action Protocol, or even a court date, a sale can still prevent repossession.

Speed matters: we can often complete quicker than an estate agent and work with your lender to clear the mortgage.

No — voluntarily selling to clear arrears is much less damaging to your credit than:

• Repossession

• Ongoing missed payments

• Court judgments

A clean, fast sale helps prevent long-term credit damage and financial restrictions in future.

Yes — many Barnsley homeowners in low-equity or break-even situations still have options.

We’ll assess your mortgage balance, arrears, and property value to see if a sale can stop further financial decline, arrears, or repossession threats.

Depending on your situation, we can often complete a sale in 7–21 days.

This speed is crucial for anyone facing mortgage payment hikes, arrears, or repossession.
