i have a dilemma.
I bought a house in 2006 with my now ex partner.
we paid E235000 for the house and took out a loan for E20000 for contents.
we have since parted ways and are in a dilemma as to what to do with the house.
we have placed it on the market and have recieved an offer for E170000 (ex contents) leaving us with a shortfall of E33800.
we have been paying the mortgage as intrest only for the last 2 years (E651 a month)
this is set to rise in 12 months time to (E1300 a month)
plus additional costs for house insurance, life insurance etc.
neither of us are living in the house at present.
I am wondering what my options are as if we sell we will have to pay back E56000 of a shortfall due to other present loans.
should we cut our losses and sell for E170 now (requiring us to procure a personal loan to cover the deficite)
or try to rent the house out (approx 500-600 a month)
is it true that the county council will rent your home on a contract basis? has anyone approached them about this?
is this an advisable course of action or should i consider renting the house out?
what costs will i incur as a result of this?
I would really appreciate advice on this matter
