What Is Mortgage Restructuring?

Mortgage restructuring means changing the terms of your existing mortgage to make it more affordable. This can include extending the amortization period, reducing the interest rate, adding arrears to the principal, or arranging a temporary payment deferral. The goal is to keep you in your home while bringing your mortgage back into good standing.

Types of Mortgage Restructuring

Payment Deferral

Temporarily pause or reduce your payments to get through a short-term financial hardship. Missed payments are added to your principal balance.

Short-Term Relief

Loan Modification

Permanently change your mortgage terms — lower interest rate, longer amortization, or both. This reduces your monthly payment going forward.

Permanent Solution

Arrears Capitalization

Your missed payments and legal fees are added to your mortgage balance and spread across the remaining term. No lump-sum catch-up payment required.

Catch-Up Plan

Repayment Plan

Keep your existing mortgage terms but add a temporary extra payment each month to gradually pay off your arrears over 6-24 months.

Gradual Recovery

Why Lenders Agree to Restructuring

Foreclosure is expensive for lenders too. Legal fees, property maintenance, real estate commissions, and the risk of selling below market value all eat into a lender's recovery. In many cases, restructuring your mortgage is the more profitable option for your lender — which is why they often agree when approached correctly.

The key is knowing how to negotiate. Having an experienced advocate present your case to the lender's loss mitigation department dramatically increases your chances of approval.
