Being in bad debt is incredibly stressful, often placing you and your family under immense financial and emotional strain. If you need to urgently pay off credit card debt, payday loans or stop repossession, you could sell your property to release equity and help regain control of your finances.

However, selling your house to pay off debt is not a decision that should be taken lightly. While it may seem like the easiest way to quickly acquire a large sum of money, you need to consider the long term implications of selling your property.

Selling your property to release equity and pay off bad debt will not work for everyone. It will only ever help if your home is worth more than the amount you owe, your mortgage. If the market value of your property falls below the outstanding mortgage amount, you’ll be in negative equity. Find out more about selling your home when you are in negative equity here.

If you decide to sell your home to clear bad debt, there are other considerations to be made. Selling a property is an expensive process, with estate agent commission, solicitor fees, conveyancing costs, repairs and maintenance all eating into the equity you’ll receive once the sale completes. Can you afford to pay these fees, even if the house sale falls through? And will you still make enough profit on your property to pay off your debt?
