Hi all, just doing some search’s to find out if there are any mortgage options for people, like myself who have negative equity. I can't seem to find anything but hoping somebody out there may know of one.
My situation is that I bought what I could afford in 2006 and now have negative equity of 200K approx.
I am now looking to move house because of a growing family and can't afford to buy myself out of the negative equity. What I would dearly love to do is sell my house and buy a new one for the same mortgage as I have now but because prices have gone down I could probably get the bigger house my family needs.
Does anybody out there know if such a facility exists? Through my searching online I've had no joy but came across a proposal on the website- Your Country, Your call which is exactly what I need, but from reading the proposal it would suggest that nothing of this nature in existence yet. Here's a link to the proposal- Cure for Negative Equity
Any suggestions or links to information about this type of mortgage, or a way of getting around negitive equity without having to pay the shortfall all at once would be much appreciated.
