What Happend During The war to Mortgages ?

If you were a young person during the second world war and you had a loan to buy a house and were called up, did the banks "freeze" the loan ?

I wouldn't have thought so. More likely that the Army paid the wife a lodging allowance, sufficient to cover the cost of the mortgage.

My father was in a reserved occupation (coal mining) so his mortgage carried on as normal, costing £3/10/9d per month.

What happened if you were bombed out? Was that an insurable loss?

War risk, usually excluded. Compensation by the Government. Billeted on someone.
