  • Problem is that I don't think you're taking one name off the mortgage. You're getting a new mortgage on a house that has now gone up in value. You'll have more equity but you'll now be borrowing the rest based how much you've agreed to pay the other person.

    Is the other person a friend that's moving on and you're buying them out, or a partner that's staying there and you're just transferring mortgage into your name...?

  • Ex-partner - we are doing okay as housemates but both foresee that it's probably not a great idea long term, and identifying a point at which to split (or even if they remain living here, it's as a lodger, so they have something they can go buy another property with).
