Grow Your Legal Practice. Meet the Editors. The terms of the mortgage or deed of trust you signed when getting your home loan usually define what constitutes default. For instance, you'll likely be in default if: You don't pay the property taxes , assuming you don't have an escrow account. You don't pay your homeowners' insurance bills again, assuming you don't have an escrow account for this purpose.
You allow the property to deteriorate or commit waste by causing damage that lowers the home's value. You transfer the property's deed to a new owner without getting the lender's permission.

What Happens If You Default on Your Mortgage Loan Once you default on your mortgage loan, the lender can demand that you repay the entire outstanding balance, called " accelerating the debt. I have a buy-to-let mortgage on the flat and a work colleague says this could be a problem for me. Why should that be the case if I just carry on paying the mortgage without fail, as I have always done?
Answer: Lenders treat buy-to-let mortgages differently to residential mortgages and have different lending criteria for each. For example, when considering an application for a buy-to-let mortgage, the expected rental income is taken into account. Accordingly, if you move into your flat you are likely to be in breach of the terms of your mortgage, which could entitle your lender to call in the loan — that is, ask you to repay it in full.
Contact your lender and explain your predicament. They may raise no objections to you living in the property or you may have to redeem your buy-to-let mortgage and take out a new mortgage, either with your current lender or a new one.
