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.
