Hi, its a bit complicated but here it goes -
My brother took out a morgage for a house in Australia 12yrs ago, he's now left Australia and is currently living in Indonesia, due to complications with the CSA he cannot go back to Australia at present but wants rid of the house, how would he fair if he sent back the keys?
The house is empty and has no real value as it's in a now ghost town, he cannot go back to sell it anyway.

he would still be liable for the morgage even if they repossessed it in his absence wouldn't he?

The house has been empty for 7 years, he has offered it to his wife and children as they grew up there but the don't want to go back. He has been paying the morgage for all those years, but now just wants rid of the burden, so he can move on problem is he can't even attempt to sell it as he's not allowed back into the country.

Its all very unfair, as none of this was his fault.
