Hi yer

You must get your ex to take his name off the deeds if this is something you are agreeing to amicably.

Providing your income stands up as a single person you will then may be able to remortgage for the amount required to buy out your ex.

I can give you more help if you can give me more financial information i.e your wages, outstanding mortgage on property equity in property etc which I am happy for you to do in private message.

I made an appointment with the lender, she was great, and far more helpful than the solicitor. She did all the paperwork ready for the other party to take his name off the mortgage. Sadly the Solicior lost the paperwork, so it took longer than expected. I changed the rate within seconds of the house being mine, it is interest only, and luckily small enough for me to pay back on 10k a year salary....I then found a job paying 5K more! Like I had won the lottery! Good luck!

thanks for the last 2 posts.

I am new to this (3 weeks since he left) but I am already seeing a financial advisor to see if I can take out bigger mort on my own to buy out STBX - solicitors can sort the legalities. I do begrudge giving him anything, so I want to offer him as little as possible with the promise that I will handle all the legal sides. I not sure if this is the correct legal way but I certainley haven't been advised any different.
