Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Amy B asked:

Me and my boyfriend moved in together and he got a mortgage for the house in his name and I just pay him some rent. If we were to get married in the future would I then be involved on his mortgage? Or does it not work like that.

How does getting a joint mortgage work?

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Samsara S asked:

Both my partner and i own our own homes, we live in his and rent mine out. How do we go about getting a joint mortgage to buy a bigger family home? Do we sell our houses first? What happens if one house takes a while longer to sell?

We both have different mortgage providers.
Would the fact that i have had my mortgage for less time than my partner matter? So many questions…..

Thanks in advance.

What happens to a joint mortgage when you divorce?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Andrew asked:

Me and my wife will shortly be going through a divorce.

She lives in our house with our 2 children and I have moved out.

My concern is that the mortgage is mainly based on my income as the full time worker and she would not beadble to buy me out or take on the mortgage.

Although I’m not gonna kick my children out of their home this situation does not allow me to get a mortgage for myself.

Can you still have a joint mortgage once divorced?
