Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in United Kingdom

Can I sign my house over to to my ex partner

I currently hold a morgage and want to find out out if I can legally sign the house over to my ex who would then be responsible for all future payments. I want to know if this has been done before and what are the concerns or complications that I should be aware of. I do not want the hassle of selling the property as I previously had it on the market, i simply cannot afford the repayments and want to move back to scotland.

Re: Can I sign my house over to to my ex partner

I am afraid that what you are proposing will not be possible without the consent of the mortgage lender. You and your ex will need to approach the lender and seek their consent to your release from the mortgage. This is likely to be agreed if your ex can show that she is able to pay the mortgage without your contribution.

Let us know if difficulties arise and we will advise further.
