I've NC'd for this.
We are in negative equity on an interest only mortgage. Bought the house just on the cusp of the property crash, paid top dollar for it.
Now we are in a position where we can't move and will have to pay back a mortgage which is almost double the value of the house.
When we bought it, we put down a 20% deposit.
I don't want to shy away from my responsibilities and I want to pay the mortgage, but I've had a niggling feeling for a while that the bank should also take some of the responsibility. They made a bad investment too! I'm not sure what a fair outcome is in this scenario, but I wanted your thoughts! Thanks!
