Route Comparison
Recommended route, challengers, and release posture
Winning rationale
12-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
Lead positive drivers
Irregular payment review trigger / 12-month extension age ceiling / Residual pressure is compressing uplift on disposal and extension routes.

Trade SalePermittedApproval required / Validator£255£4,513
Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this hatchback case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner.
-
Manual ReviewPermittedApproval required / Validator-£122£4,136
Manual review is being held as the controlled path because treatment, arrears, or policy friction prevents straight-through release.
