I own a property with my sister but do not live there. I live in rented accommodation. It is the residence of her and my mother. would this be considered as saleable assets should I be made bankrupt?

Hi Maxine,
And welcome to you.
Im not 100% sure how that would work but how much equity is there in the property and also How much do you owe if any.
Maybe one of the other experts may be able to offer some more advice if i cant.
Thanks again
Jo

Hi

if there is sufficient equity in the property then this would indeed be a saleable asset.
Even in negative equity if you were to declare bankruptcy someone would need to buy your beneficial interest which would be £1 + £211 legal fees.

If that happens you are still liable for mortgage repayments, assuming you have them, as you are now.
But you would no longer own any of the property.
