Hi, was wondering if any one of you lovely people could help me out with a little advice....

I'm currently paying £992 on mortgage and my home is now well into negative equity. My plan is to rent a house, and declare the shortfall on my SOA and the hand the keys back. All this should happen in October probably.

I'm looking at a house to rent at £800 per month, its actually a much nicer house than we currently live in. So that will save £192 on my I & E when I do the final one.

Will the OR be ok with this rental figure, bearing in mind it's less than I currently pay in mortgage? My wife had basically nothing to do with my debt situation as I had the vast majority of it when we met, so I don't want her to pay for my past by making her live somewhere she won't be happy and risking our marriage.

Any advice appreciated as we're both a bit stressed about this right now.

Many thanks

Hi Grantspants,

As AST is an "Assured Shorthold Tennancy" or tennancy agreement.

Oh one more....

If I have a 6 month lease does that mean the OR can ask me to leave the property when the lease is up? I intend to keep renting the same property for around 3 years I think.

;)

Hi, thanks for the replies folks. Whats an AST Julian?

Hi Grantspants,

As long as you are bound by an AST, there's nothing the OR can do about it.
