Me and my partner are in the negative equity trap to the sum of #10,000. We need to buy a new property and fortunately for us my brother wishes to purchase are current property, for #31,000. Our outstanding mortgage is #41,000? Due to problems we have a bad credit rating with the two credit agencies. We need to obtain a new mortgage to also include the negative equity. We have both been employed with the same firms for over 8 years.

Does anyone know of a specialist lender who maybe able to assist us in this matter? Or a lender who would allow us to have a second mortgage and for us to rent our current property out?

Anyone's assistance would be very much appreciated.
