If a vendor has been able to develop a plausible solution to repay the lender after a repossession order has been granted and before the eviction date, then the court can call an emergency hearing for the case to be re-heard.

However, the solution to repay the lender needs to be a solid one and have a realistic timescale that doesn’t overly impact the lender or be speculative enough that the vendor would incur unnecessary additional costs.

A N244 form available at the court or online, needs to be presented thoroughly completed to the court before eviction takes place.

Accepted solutions include but not limited to a detailed quick-sale Letter Of Interest (LOI) or short term bridging loan Indicative Terms, each will need to demonstrate an ability to repay the balance outstanding and an estimated timescale to complete.

The N244 cannot be used to merely stall an eviction and it is advisable that you seek legal advice and assistance in this matter.

The N244 form and guidance notes are available on the Governments website here.
