Persimmon Shared Equity

My shared equity loan is due for repayment next month. I have had my house up for sale since Feb and had 2 buyers pull out. I really dont want to move as I can't get a mortgage with my credit rating and I'll have to rent at a higher price than my mortgage repayments are. Does anyone know what will happen if I don't sell my house by next month? I know they'll start charging interest on the loan but will they repossess the house? Ive tried calling Ascent who are dealing with the loan but they are impossible to get hold off!

    What do your T+Cs of your loan state when the term matures next month?


    Perhaps your house is overpriced or a slow market?
