Cost of living: 'We've got to sell our family home due to mortgage rise'
By Charlie JonesBBC News, East
A mother-of-three said she was devastated at having to put her house on The Market because she could no longer afford her mortgage payments.
Emma Piddock, 32, from Norwich, is selling her family home and looking for a shared ownership property instead.
It means The Family would only own 25% of the property, which She Said was " extremely upsetting".
The government said it was focussing on restoring stability to the economy and mortgage market.
Mrs Piddock's two-year fixed mortgage currently costs £711 a month but is coming to an end.
The Family would be paying at least an extra £200 a month if they stayed in their three-bed mid terrace home, which they have owned for Four Years .
The Local government worker, who lives with her husband and three young children, said moving to a new house under a shared ownership scheme was The Family 's only option.
" We can't afford to rent privately but I earn too much money to qualify for social housing. We don't want to give up Our Home but we can't see any other solution, " She Said .
Her husband receives benefits because he is not able to work due to fibromyalgia. Despite being in constant pain, he has to look after their one-year-old twins while Mrs Piddock works because they cannot afford childcare.
" I've contacted companies that specialise in buying houses quickly and it's an avenue We Are having to consider, even though they are offering us £40,000 less than what we believe is the value of The House , of around £220,000, " Mrs Piddock said.
" We wanted to pass on the equity from Our House to our daughters so it's a horrible situation to be in. "

" The financial regulator's rules require firms to deal fairly with customers in payment difficulties but we know Some People will be worried, which is why We Are doing what we can to help.
