If, as with several other homeowners, your home is worth less than the loan you have taken to purchase then you might need to do a short sale if you have to move home or if you can no longer afford your house.
If its simply a case of having to move, then your lender is unlikely to agree to a short sale unless you agree to cover the shortfall in the balance. Needless to say just walking away from the debt in this situation won't be a good idea because any future lenders might not agree to grant you a loan in the future and almost certainly not at reasonable rates. If you do not have the outstanding amount yourself, then you might even be granted a loan by your lender to cover that amount. In short, they just wish to know that they'll get their cash back.
A more common instance of a short sale is when an individual has fallen under hardship such as being made redundant and is no longer capable of affording the monthly repayments. In this case, the lender would have to accept a loss in the case of a short sale so certain criteria ought to be met.
One of the main requirement that have to be met is that the seller must be able to demonstrate that the home is now valued at a lower value. This is done with an agent who gives a BPO, or broker price agreement which is submitted to the lender. If the seller simply desires to sell at a lower price to hasten the sale then the bank will refuse or demand which the seller covers the loss themselves.
The individual who is looking to short sale the house must show that he doesn't have to pay for the mortgages of the houses as he has fallen under a lot of hardship. Such hardships might be loss of income because of redundancy, serious illness, divorce, bankruptcy or a death in the family.
So as to be granted a short sale the seller has to be delinquent or imminently delinquent on the mortgage. In the past a lender would only agree to a short sale when the borrower was already delinquent but now they're more open to finding an answer before the borrower finds themselves in a position where they could no longer pay. Again, the homeowner ought to be able to demonstrate to the lender that there reason for being unable to pay is a legit one and isn't simply down to the seller purchasing a new car or going on an expensive holiday.
If you're beginning to struggle then its certainly a good idea to speak with you lender to cope with any potential situation before it arises. Although no lender would be happy to take a less, the effort to do the tight thing will still be appreciated over walking away from the debt on reneging on your promises. Since the economic crisis lenders are more aware of the strife which many home owners have found themselves in and so are usually will to at least have a listen and talk about what the best steps to take would be.
