At least one won't go under the nearby Thames bridges, so that doesn't give much scope for relocating! I also suspect that they won't be motorised. The buyers couldn't have used lawyers at all - didn't think they had to to buy a boat. The bridges do open from time to time though so surely they could be moved as a one-off to be relocated. Not sure how they would go about moving them if they are not motorised though ... but there must be a way.

Very sad state of affairs for these buyers. I do not see why the houseboats are "worthless" however, surely they still own the boat itself and locate it somewhere else? Portsmouth for example ... Well one of them wasnt as it was repossessed by MD and sold

Borrower must have a mixed relationship with the authorities. Found not guilty last year, who knows about the current "up the creek" case. But this link is amusing retort and sign of nuttiness (apologies if posted before); www.justanswer.co.uk

There has been a lot of availability of these loans today...
So I bought some parts up - 12%, 200+ days remaining, low LTV, FFF stuff.
Then I wondered...
Then I read this...
And now I sold up.
Phew.

This should serve as a salutary reminder that a large proportion of P2P borrowers will be exactly the type of people who are rejected by conventional lending institutions!
