Hi Anita,
Unfortunately your son is going to be responsible for the shortfall.
I suggest he takes advice, maybe from an expert on here, if he needs debt advice.

Hiya Anita.02
Your son and his ex partner, because they were joint mortgage holders, they are both jointly and severally liable for the debt and any shortfall. If his ex cannot pay because she is bankrupt, unfortunately your son will have to. It may be that he will have to become bankrupt as well and I suggest that you ask him to take professional advice, perhaps from an expert on this forum.
All the best

Thanks for the replies she is discharged from her bankruptcy next month so if the house doesnt sell before that will she be liable bearing in mind its a joint mortgege and she didnt include it in her bankruptcy
