Hi
I am 5 months into bankruptcy and would like to try and get my property transferred back to me. The property has no equity at present, nor will it have any equity within the next 3 years!
I have spoken to the OR about this and they have asked me to send a letter in stating the reasons why!
The OR has acknowledged that there is no equity in the property and I expect to get an early release in the next few weeks!
Can anyone give me any feedback as to what I should say to them, apart from the obvious fact that it is our family home (I am married with 3 young children) and we have lived in the house for the past 14 years?)
Thanks |

Hi,
what I currently understand is that since the rule change on buying out the BI changed, in particular those in neg equity, the case will be transferred to an RTLU, who will then at the 2 years and 3 month point decide what to do with the property. If it's still in negative equity at that point with no chance of going positive, then they will probably re vest the property before 3 years is up.
However, it appears from what I understand, that if an offer of about £1,000 or more is made plus the OR's costs then it is one that the OR would consider, but that will be for properties that are in negative equity, and will be for at least 3 years.

Hiya Rodger24
With the rules regarding property and bankruptcy which came into force a number of months ago, I think that it is unlikely that the OR will relinquish his interest in the house until after at least 2 years and 3 months. If you believe that there will be no equity in the house after 3 years, there is nothing for you to worry about. As far as I am aware , there are no exemptions to the property rules.
All the best
