ALT If you're struggling with your mortgage rate, you may be able to get help from your mortgage lender. There are six key ways in which your lender might be able to help you: 1. If you're worried about repayments, you can now contact your lender for help and guidance, without any impact on your credit score. 2. If you're up to date with payments, lenders will let you switch to interest-only payments for six months. 3. If you're approaching the end of a fixed-rate deal, you will have the chance to lock in a new deal six months ahead. 4. If you're up to date with payments and at the end of your existing fixed-rate deal, you can switch to new mortgage deals without another affordability check. 5. You can access tailored support from your lender if you're struggling with payments. 6. Homes cannot be repossessed within 12 months of a first missed payment.
