I'm one of three directors of a limited company; between us, we offered a £500k joint and several guarantee, secured on our homes, about nine months ago.
The business is about to go into receivership and I am concerned to minimise the impact of this occurrence on my personal finances.
When the secured PGs were put in place, they had my house valued; it was appraised at £435k. The outstanding mortgage was £393k. So there clearly wasn't enough equity in it to cover my third of the loan. My business partners each live in homes worth £1-1.5m, with at least £500k each of equity.
Due to the state of the property market I'd guess my house is now worth £350-375k.
Given the negative equity, personal guarantees and the fact I'll soon be jobless, I'm tempted to file for bankruptcy. But I'd prefer not to do this as it would affect my credit rating, ability to be a company director etc.
I'm tempted to write to the bank when the business goes under and offer them an informal full and final settlement. Is this a sensible option? If so, what percentage of my share of the debt should I offer, and how should I present my argument to maximise the chances of the offer being accepted? |
