    I'm sorry to keep on about this!


    The whole point of a binding contract, is that nobody can change the terms unless the contract is violated in some way.

    How binding did you consider your contract with your lender?

    I am pleased that most posters on this thread do not totally rule out the possibility of negotiating with the lenders about repayment of the shortfall.

At the moment I am in a negative equity situation, but who knows what will happen by mid-2011.

    My plan is to put the house on the market in early 2011, and contact the lenders to inform them of the situation. I would like to think that they might be willing to at least dicuss some contingency arrangements to use in the event that I am unable to sell the house without incurring a shortfall.

    You begin your post with the above statement, and then go on to emphasise how unpredictable the future is. But you cannot have it both ways!

    The whole point of a binding contract, is that nobody can change the terms unless the contract is violated in some way.

    I would not like to be around when Woolwich decides to do a sweep of all their customers who failed to comply with the 30 day condition, and then bumps up their interest rate to compensate themselves for the fact that they have suddenly found out that those customers are a greater risk than originally calculated.

    Please don't say that it will never happen, because you don't know. That is precisely the sort of thing that banks do.

    There is a big difference between accepting a condition and then choosing not to comply, and accepting a condition with which both you and the bank know you are unable to comply. All my comments have been intended to address the second of those two situations.
