Q&A - How can I get my name taken off mortgage for property I no longer live in?
Q: My partner and I separated two years ago. When we were together we bought a house in joint names and we both had our names on the mortgage. After we separated, my ex-partner continued to live in the house and is now living there with a new partner but refuses to remove my name from the mortgage. This is a massive worry to me as they keep missing the mortgage payments, which is having a huge impact on my credit rating. I can’t afford to pay for the mortgage so what should I do?
