Ooooh thats going to sting you. Loss on the value plus penalties for leaving the mortgage deal early!!
Erm best thing to do would be to buy him out if you can afford to or get someone else to buy his share!!
Ive got 2 mates in a similar dilema, bought last August for 240k, one of them got offered a job in London & the house has been valued at 192k. Fuck that!!

If the house has dropped in value (and will probably go up) then buy him out of it.
I would try for.. He pays the 'costs' of the change and you pay him out at the current value i.e. he will make a loss but thats tough luck
Did you get any agreement written up when you agreed to the mortgage? Is he still a mate? He could string you with half the cost of breaking the mortgage etc which could mount up.

is there anything to buy out from
Basically you owe more than its worth
So its his loss if he wants out

If your not able to get a mortage to cover the whole thing then it looks like your going to be screwed and will have to sell up for less and owe a good few K to the bank

To stick it on the rental market you will need to get permission from the mortgage company which will also cost more $$$

ok so it isnt as easy as just sticking on the rental market thats bad news!
right once my 5 year fixed rate 100% mortage runs its course in 2 years, what happens?????
do i have to get another mortage or will my current company just sent me a renewal note just like car insurance??

basically you will be asked to go and see them
You may get offered fixed rates depending on the price of your house or mortgage
if not you will fall onto the base rate
This happened to me this year
Came out of a fixed rate at 5%. Nationwide requires 20% deposit (owned assaet) and my outstandign mortage worked out at 83% hence they could not offer a fixed mortgage
Anyway this turned out to be better as I dropped onto the base rate mortgage at 2.5% (2% above base rate)
