    There are a number of issues and questions which arise from your initial statement.

    What is the objective of this transaction?

    What is your salary? other expenses per month?

    Is the mortgage going to be in your name or your fathers?, how old is he?

    "Care" has to be taken if this is for the purpose of avoidance of care fees........

    ok sorry if i was a little unclear with my post the main reason being is that my father unfortunatley over the years has acumalted a number of depts mostly from credit cards about 35,000 in total his credit rating is pretty poor dues to many late payments over the years + his age 60 no one wants to help, on the other hand myself i have a good credit rating no outstanding depts on a salary of 35,000 p/a

    no i will stil be living at home, the main objective is to ease things up for my father as he is having a tough time of it, also forgot to add that father has an endownment policy that he took out in the 90s has 5 years left this due to pay out 95,000 he wants to carry on paying into this when it has fininshed this will be payed off on the new morgage then what ever is left out standing perhaps 50,000 or 60,000 i intend to take over the payments from there

    thanks guys

    I would check that the endowment is going to pay the projected sum.

    As your father is 60. Few if any lenders will advance monies for a mortgage beyond retirement age without proof of income to support the repayments.

    Have you considered selling the existing property, then buying jointly?

    I assume with your fathers level of debts that his finances aren't in the best of order.

    So remortgage would mean the mortgage would still be in your fathers name, i am pretty sure that he would not get a 25 year mortgage at his age.
