Repossession and Outstanding Debts
I have a buy to let flat that has some mortgage payment arrears that is over £10,000. The mortgage company has now decided to repossess and set an eviction date. I also owe the council service charge money.
The question i have is if they repossess the flat am i still liable for the arrears.
Can the mortgage company continue to chase me for payment of any outstanding monies? Also who does the council chase for outstanding service charge?
Thanks

Really sorry to hear this.
Have you looked into alternative options like mortgage rescue or similar schemes. Can you go to your council housing department, they are not just there to apply for social housing they advised me that they are also there to prevent reposession.
My thoughts are with you at this stressful time.

Yes. Hence why most BTL lenders now require a borrower to own a property of their own. As there's an asset to either put a charge on or force the sale of.

I am afraid that a Buy to Let is seen as a commercial enterprise (which it is - you do not go into it out of the kindness of your heart - you want to make money).
As with any business, that carries a risk
I run a consultancy to help Independent Financial Advisers to comply with their rules and resolve complaints. Although I am qualified to, I don't advise consumers for reward.

How the hell did they let you run up 10k worth of debt....
The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters.
The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease.

I could look to buy the property from you to clear the debts you may have.
We agree a price that is fair to us both PM me for me details.
