The Department for Work and Pensions also provides help for pensioners and those out of work to meet their mortgage payments through Support for Mortgage Interest. In addition, all borrowers can seek protection in the Courts using the Mortgage Pre-Action Protocol, which makes it clear that repossession must always be the last resort for lenders.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, a well-functioning mortgage market will always need to keep the possibility of repossession open as a last resort.
