Hi Janet, is your home in negative equity? If it is then you could wait until the 3 year mark when it will be released from the bankruptcy. Bearing in mind it could always increase in value etc. Or you could contact the OR now to buy back the beneficial interest.

It should be revalued and assessed at 2 years a 3 months, to be dealt with before the 3 years are up from your discharge from bankruptcy.

It might be worth considering getting a valuation yourself to see how the market has faired in your area.

Good advice from Viki. It would be worth contacting the OR now if you want to keep the property.

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we cannot eat money.

Last IPA payment made on 28th June 2010 and I'm now looking forward to getting married in September 2012 - I'm proof that you can go BR and come out the other side.

I guess the main answers we'd need off the OP are

Did the property have equity in it when they were BR?
What is the equity in it now?

If negative, they can continue to wait until the three years is up.

If there's equity, then as I said, it'll should get revalued at 2 years 3 months, then they will have to buy out the beneficial interest (BI).

Id still get my own valuation done in case the OR's valuation varies greatly.

I think Viki had already covered this?

Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again

Viki has already asked for the relevant information so unless the OP comes back we can only provide general advice.

Tracey/Niobe,

I think I added to what Viki had posted.
I asked others to add to my posts earlier today as some questions had gone unanswered to other posters.

You have told me before to add to other peoples posts.

You have told me before not to worry when others have repeated what I have said, as that lets the OP know they are getting agreeing and consolidated answers.

I don't think its necessary to post 'I think this has already been covered', when there has been the odd, albeit small point omitted, which I added to.

My posts were to encourage the OP to come back to us. Other options had been added to Vikis.
Nothing sinister, just helpful.

Is it not time to add to my posts, or agree when they're factual, than potentially (again), putting posters off.
Is the forum ethos, not to help each other?
