The Abhaile Service is the national State-funded mortgage arrears resolution service aimed at helping people who are in serious mortgage arrears. Established in mid-2016, the service is designed to support insolvent mortgage holders and is provided free of charge with the aim of helping them to find workable and sustainable mortgage solutions and keep them, wherever possible, in their own home.
Under Abhaile, mortgage holders who are insolvent and in mortgage arrears on their home, are provided with voucher(s) to access independent expert financial and/or legal advice and assistance, best suited to their individual home mortgage arrears situation.
The table below outlines the number of Personal Insolvency Practitioner Abhaile vouchers issued and redeemed by each Money Advice and Budgeting Service office broken down by county. The table outlines total vouchers issued and redeemed. It also includes vouchers issued to 1st July 2022.
