Have a word with your IP though.

- Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:08 pm #190363 Be careful here and dont do anything before you speak to the IP - some IPs will take all (or your half share if jointly owned) the equity/profit if you sell your property during the TD period despite your having dealt with the equity already.

It works like this - if your property was valued at the outset of the TD at £100k and your mortgage was £90K your equity was £10k and you have paid this to the Trustee. If however you now sell your property for £120k pay your £90k mortgage you stand to make £30k you have paid your Trustee £10k - you are still £20k in profit - the IP could not ignore this fact.

I am not saying it will happen but please check with your IP and get something in writing from them okaying the sale etc
