Posted - 02 March 2009 : 21:01:03 i spoke to someone today, a bankruptcy advisor, with the same question... she said that yes i can still keep the flat if its in negative equity.. BUT... the mortgage repayment must be maximum 40% of my income... im not sure about this and quite worried as my income is definitly not in that league (my mortgage is £800) im going to put a separate post up asking the question anyway about this 40% criteria! lets hope our homes are safe :)
