    You will need to come up with €75k to cover the shortfall.

    Every house will sell if it's priced right.

    man that sucks, i hate to ad more to it but you may need to consider selling under 260k aswell. If thats the price estate agents are saying then you wont get it.

    I dont think theres any way to sell if u cant pay back the difference to the bank since they would effectivly give u an unsecured loan on the difference.

    Wouldn't say you are in a position to be able to sell unfortunately, unless you have been making huge repayments off your mortgage....and owe less than what you will sell the house for....

    the first couple of years mortgage payments are mostly interest so if you just have been making normal repayments then you have reduced the capital by very very little....

    Tbh you're in a 3-bed semi with a relatively small mortgage. Some people are in 2-bed apartments owing nearly twice what you do. Some people would kill to be in your position :)

    Your best bet for getting out of it is to look at the renting route. That'll give you the freedom to move on.
