Want the mortgage in one name only after divorce or separation?
This is called a transfer of equity.
The lender will usually need to check whether the person staying can afford the mortgage alone.
It is not just removing a name — the lender has to approve the change.
Income, credit score, commitments, maintenance payments and the existing mortgage balance can all matter.

This is not legal advice.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
