Mortgage Stress FAQs

What is considered to be mortgage stress?

Mortgage stress is often the cause of borrowers experiencing financial stress and not being able to make their minimum monthly repayments.
With all of these recent interest rate rises, it’s not difficult to imagine that a household income committing to a once affordable mortgage loan is now experiencing high mortgage stress levels.

Borrowers who are struggling financially may be forced to go into financial hardship, which could lead to further financial problems down the road.

How do you know if you’re in mortgage stress?

You’re considered to be under mortgage stress if you are worrying as to whether you’d be able to make the minimum mortgage repayment.
Borrowers may fall behind on payments due to job loss, illness, divorce, or any number of other factors.

Many financial institutions require borrowers to prove that they can afford to repay their loans, however due to changes in circumstances that come from life’s many curveballs, borrowers may find it difficult to consistently meet these requirements for an extended period of time.

How do you relieve mortgage stress?

Fortunately, there are many ways to alleviate mortgage stress.
Financial stress is often caused by not being able to determine how you’re tracking financially. It’s a fear of the unknown.

The best way to know what you can expect is to have a budget that shows where your money is going on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

What if my expenses are higher than my income?

This is a very common scenario. We may negotiate with your creditors to obtain the lowest monthly payment obligation that fits within your personal or household budget.
We also offer suggestions on how you can tailor your expenses to reflect your income.

We have always enjoyed MyBudget. The peace of mind knowing that when you upload a bill, that it will be paid on time. The 12-month savings forecast is the best out there and a huge motivator to continue to grow your savings. I never saw them as an expense, but instead an investment in skilled money managers.

Tony & RhondaClient since 2019
I have been with MyBudget for around 15 years. In that time, I have become debt free, saved a house deposit and they facilitated a home loan for me. The people at MyBudget have organised my finances so that all my bills are paid on time. My mortgage is paid, I have plenty of money to live on, plus I can still save money.

Wow, where do I start? If you want to see your home paid off, all your bills paid on time, savings and your dream holiday, please give MyBudget a call. My home is nearly mine; I nearly lost it but since I’ve been with MyBudget, the mortgage is going down and never been late. Most of all, the people on the phone never ever rush you. Whenever I get off the phone, I’m smiling. They are very passionate about helping you.
