    You can't sell for less than the value of your mortgage and secured loan, and the selling fees, unless you get the agreement of the secured loan people to transfer your secured loan to an unsecured one.

    step one is to speak to the secured loan company and ask them if they will transfer the remainder of the loan to an unsecured loan. Emphasise that you will have problems in repaying the loan if you don't. You could try and negotiate a final settlement on the secured loan, but lenders don't often agree to this.

    The other option would be to move in to your mums and let the property. With a tenant paying rent, would that make it easier to pay down the loan t the point where you could sell the house?

    Maybe, you could ask your present lender for permission to rent.

    And I gave you the best advice you'll ever got on this forum!!

    "valuations" are meaningless, the market decides, you are gambling that house prices won't fall...

    By the way, if you believe in "valuations", then you are a fool, not my opinion but an imperical fact!!!

    no prizes for guessing who this waster is :rolleyes:

    Wxmlad, who is your secured loan lender , is it the same as the mortgage holder or not

    You might want to ask on DFW about this, as many people have experience in silimar situations getting out of a secured loan when in negative equity.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    ??? i have not insulted you, and you have not given me 1 bit of advice which will help me what so ever, all you have done is called me a fool and told me my actions have been wrong.


    now do run along like a good little girl/boy and leave this thread to the people who have had previous experience with this issue or have some constructive comments to input.

    thanks:wall:
