Doesnt look that way from some data offered by Genworth, one of the larger mortgage insurers.
The main causes of hardship identified by Genworth from over 1000 applications to its Hardship Solutions team are:
• Illness or injury 38%
• Unemployment 15%
• Decreased income or earning capacity 15%
• Maternity leave 11%
• Relationship breakdown 4%
• Over-commitment to mortgage 2%
Genworth is calling on the 250 lenders on its books to do more to help people keep their homes and is encouraging them to think laterally regarding solutions for mortgage hardship.
Obviously would be coloured a little , but still interesting numbers
