Homeowners struggling to pay their mortgage due to coronavirus will be able to extend their payment holiday for a further three months, the Treasury has today announced.
The application period for a mortgage holiday will now run until 31 October, allowing those struggling during the coronavirus crisis to claim ongoing support.
Households will be able to prolong the break or reduce their payments through their bank or building society without having their credit scores affected.
Economic Secretary to the Treasury, John Glen said: "We’re doing everything we can to help people with their finances at this difficult time, and that includes making sure people get the support they need with their mortgages.
