Hello and welcome to the forum.

You may be able to keep the property after bankcruptcy. Please see this Insolvency Service link;

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/guidanceleaflets/home/home.htm

It may be possible for a family member to buy the beneficial interest in the property from the official receiver's office for £211 + VAT in a situation where there is negative equity in the house. A valuation would have to be done and mortgage payments would need to be kept up and you would continue to be liable for the mortgage payments. As your mortgage is £1000 a month ona property in negative equity and probably reducing in value daily I would be worried about affordability. Nevertheless, you would be released from other debts and could perhaps manage the mortgage and household bills better.

Other forum members sohuld be able to advise you further.

Good luck.
