question about sale of home

I have recently been made bankrupt (sequestrated, I am in Scotland) over debts amounting to just over £8000. I was wondering if anyone knew what would happen when my house is sold? The house has around 40k equity in it. If the OR sells the home and pays off my debts will I get any money at all from the sale of the house or will he sell it for just enough to cover the 8k debt? I'm a bit confused about the whole situation.
Thanks!
Lynne.

    When the house is sold rhe trustee will take his fees and the debt amount and then you will get the remainder.
