what happen to house after 3 years?

ok, we're discharged and the house is with the RTLU. When we went bankrupt we were told we were unlikely to lose the house (partly because very little equity and 2 mortgages, and partly because hubby only on temporary contract). I know they keep interest for 3 years but what happens after that? Do the deeds revert to us?? Many thanks x

    If the Trustee does not do anything with the house and it is classed as a family home then the house would revert back to you

    I didn't hear anything regarding my house for 18 months after my bankruptcy - then I was offered to buy the beneficial interest, which I did.
