Applying for a DPA

Your agreement with Hull City Council

If you decide to use the deferred payment agreement, you enter into a legal agreement with the council by signing an agreement document. You will be agreeing to place a charge on the property.

The council’s legal department will contact you to complete that process. Please respond to all correspondence promptly.

The agreement covers both the responsibilities of the council and your responsibilities.

You can end the agreement at any time (for example if you sell your home) and then the loan becomes payable immediately. Otherwise your loan ends on your death and the loan becomes payable 90 days later.
