i think either way you will loose the money from your house abroad.
Experts will be able to help you, if you can tell them who you owe money to and how much and what you earn as well.
no matter how bad money gets, theirs stll alot more important things in life

To avoid bankruptcy you could offer a lump sum based IVA on the basis that your property will sell over the next twelve months and then you could repay creditors in full, but to be honest the fees would probably negate the benefit. Why not speak to your creditors and tell them that you propose to sell the property and will pay them in full when this happens, if they will agree to freeze interest for say the next six months.
