    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.

    hi my mortgage is with RBS and my secured loan is with Welcome finance.

    My understanding ( and Im not an expert, just what Ive picked up from DFW) is that Welcome dont do unsecured lending only secured.

    therefore - and Im not certain, so DO ASK over on DFW, that it could be problematic selling given that they may not be able to offer unsecured lending on the amount outstanding after your home is sold.

    I cant remember but have a feeling that Mike St Helens or Clapton being good posters to ask as im fairly sure they is well up on Welcome and other secured lenders.

    Good luck x

    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:

    There's no incentive for Welcome to allow you to sell the property when it will leave them with a large unsecured exposure unless there is a realistic probability of you defaulting on their loan.

    Why do you "need" to sell your house?

    Welcome will change a secured loan to an unsecured personal loan, I work at a solicitors and a client recently had a similar situation.
    Even though the main lender was threatening repossession they still changed it to an unsecured loan to release the property and allow a sale to take place. I can't see how that makes any sense from Welcome's point of view, but what do I know?
    They were a nightmare to deal with though and i raised at least 3 written complaints about the way they refused to confirm it in writing for months.
    got it done in the end though.

    ??? 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:

    I have given you excellent advice, but you don't want to hear it...Consider: interest are rising, they may continue to do so for some time, the price you sell for will be based on this and other market factors, as a wise fellow once said "House prices are a matter of opinion, debt is real"You may not like my posts, but if the housing market crashes you will be trapped, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone...Take care

    if welcome won't do an unsecured loan could you take out a seperate personal loan for the amount?
    We're in a similar situation to you.We have 89k mortgage and 54k secured loan.We are selling our house because the payments are going up and up on the loan.We're hoping to make some money to pay some of it off.we are able to transfer our loan and m/gage to our new house.
    Watch out for any costs for paying your loan off.
    Ours is with first plus and if we pay it all off now we have a 7k repayment penalty.
    Good luck.

    This is almost definitely untrue. Most lenders will allow you to let your property on a residential mortgage, at least in the short term and in special circumstances like yours.

    Definitely ask your lender what permission to let would cost, and whether they'll grant it, before incurring loads of unnecessary penalties.
