I am resident in England but have a mortgaged flat in Scotland. If I transfer the property to my sister's name, can it be sold to pay off business debts if I go bankrupt?

Hi
If you go bankrupt the official receiver will look at your affairs and if an asset has bee sold or transferred at below market value he/she has the power to reverse this transaction for the benefit of all your creditors
Regards

If the flat is mortgaged,the mortgage company wouldnt let you transfer it into your sisters name unless your sister took out a new mortgage on it!
