BI in house

Hi again, could someone explain how the OR would calculate our houes equity? Do they take into consideration secured loans and early repayment fees?
my partner and i are both thinking about declaring ourselves bankrupt and i was just wondering if they would be an option for us to sell the BI to relatives or not.

£157000 mortgage approx
£14000 secured loan
£9500 Early re-payment on mortgage

our house has recently been valued at about £185k so they would be just under £5k or £2.5k BI each or would they see it as £14k equity, (sorry if i am confusing you)

Thanks

    £4500 equity in it divided by two to give the figure for each of you.

    Normally, the OR WILL give you the option of either buying back your BI, or getting a close friend/relative to buy it. If you are dealing with the OR, then you can take advantage of a low-cost conveyancing scheme, through the Insolvecy Service.
