I am writing on behalf of family member. He separated from his partner 6 years ago not married and no children. House was rented for a number of years, rent was covering the mortgage ok; house was in negative equity so was not sold with hope it would come back to value. She then insisted against his wish that tenants should vacate property and she return to reside in the house with her new partner and 2 young child and she requested restructure of mortgage.
He is now married and renting. Bank proposed mortgage be extended to 30 years and lower monthly repayment; he recieved financial advice that he should not sign restructure and should not pay anything towards mortgage.
Property now falling into arrears. He has proposed paying half of arrears (currently about 10000) if she would agree to sell house or put her new partners name on mortgage. She is refusing all offers continues to reside in the house paying less than half of the mortgage payment.
Bank do not appear to be interested. Despite letters sent seeking their input - no reply recieved.
What to do? he does not want to be a bad debtor feels stuck at present.
Any suggestions welcome. Is court the only way to go to request sale of property?
Thanks
