Questions for Doomy

Ben,

PLEASE don't waste his time with Q2.

I see it like this: If you have a mortgage and you sell your house, what happens to the mortgage?
Do you a) pay off any outstanding balance or b) walk away leaving the debt to become the problem of the new owner?

If you own a flat that is worth 100k but has 40k mortgage outstanding on it, what price do you sell it for? Debt is invariably not something that can be swapped around from owner to owner, unless consent is expressly given.

Everyone is looking for something sinister in that repayment of debt clause, but I really don't believe there is.
