Posted - 19 June 2009 : 10:01:13 My wife & I are considering bankruptcy as our company has failed, owing @ £85k to creditors (inc Lloyds TSB @ £52k) We have around £36k personal finance debts. Our property is valued at £350k and our mortgage is £310k & 2nd charge £53k (so negative equity). If we go bkrupt will our house be taken from us? We have no other assets other than basic furniture.

Posted - 19 June 2009 : 12:39:53 My mortgage is £800 p/m and secured loan £450 (inc. repaying arrears on both). Income is a sore issue as we are both self employed and do not have a definite amount coming in each month.
do you know what ratio these payments are to your monthly income? I know some ORs do not like to see a high ratio when you could rent a similar house for less. [/quote]

yes, you would need to keep up the mortgage and secured loan payments.

Posted - 19 June 2009 : 10:29:43 Hi,
If a property is in negative equity then you have the option of buying it back from the OR for a token fee of £1 plus costs of £211. You will, of course, need to keep up the mortgage repayments.
