A negative equity can prevent trading up or trading down, but in the UK lenders are now offering creative solutions to the problem. In Ireland, more informal arrangements are sometimes available to help homeowers a locked-in situation No additional borrowing is allowed, but this niche product will help people, where a move is a necessity.
