beneficial interest - bankruptcy

I am trying to find out the best way forward - my boyfriend has over £25K of debts, we have a flat, it was bought for £134K but I put down a deposit of £7K (although I said it was joint deposit) so our mortgage is for £127K.
we are looking at various situations that may help and when discussing bankruptcy I ruled it out as I was so scared we would lose the house. But I have since heard that if I bought the equity off of him then he could go bankrupt without us losing our home.

There is a bankrupcy sub forum here, I personally would ask that question there as they are experts in the field and will probably answer a lot quicker!0
