⚖️ Mortgage Arrears — Your Rights

Can't Pay Your
Mortgage in Ireland.

Falling behind on your mortgage in Ireland is frightening. But you have more rights than you probably think. Lenders cannot simply take your home — there is a process, and there are ways to protect yourself at every stage of it.

How Declan's situation resolved

Outcome

Declan's solicitor wrote to the bank immediately, formally engaging the MARP process on his behalf. The solicitor negotiated a six-month interest-only arrangement while Declan found new work. When Declan's employment resumed, the solicitor helped negotiate a restructured repayment plan that added the arrears to the end of the term. The bank accepted. Declan kept his home.
