Property Debt; 'There's no shame, we're all the same''That's what they say on Embarrassing Bodies! But while a few shameless hussies wouldn't think twice about getting their bits out on the box, it seems we're even less keen to talk about MONEY or lack of it!

The report also goes into detail about what people do to keep their problems a secret, from taking out bigger loans, selling their stuff or throwing away bills.
1,000 people admitted debt prevents them from getting a good night’s sleep, while 17% admitted that their housing costs have led to arguments.

Nothing beats the feeling of buying your first home together. A place to start a family and look towards the future.However, as your family grows, you may find your home becomes too small and you need to move. Like many others, you could find that your house is now worth less than when you paid for it.”

How is home equity calculated?
Home equity is calculated by subtracting the amount you still owe on your mortgage from the current market value of your home.
Can you have negative equity?
Yes. With standard loans, your home equity will increase over time. With negative-amortizing loans — a loan with monthly payments less than the interest rates — your equity decreases over time as your owed balance increases.
