Quit Claim Deed Form?

furr

Hi there folks.
I had posted a thread a few weeks ago and asked if I could get my husbands name off the mortgage without being reassessed for a new mortgage and was told no. I was advised though, that an agreement could be drawn up for my husband to sign that says he would have no claim on the house anymore, without changing the deeds.
I have googled this and found what is known as a 'Quit Claim Deed Form'. This seems to be mostly an American thing though, as I can't find any knowledge of it on a UK site. Would anyone know what this form would be called in the UK? I want to find this out before going to my solicitor as I don't want to be charged for an appointment - I owe him enough already!
Thanks

US land law is sometimes quite different to land law in the UK, so you might not find a direct equivalent. (Even Scotland land law is sometimes very different to the law in England). I see from one of your other posts that you're in NI - I'm afraid I know nothing at all about land law there.

I know you're reluctant to incur further legal costs, but I think this really is the sort of thing your solicitor should be dealing with. You've said that your ex will accept £4,500 to buy him out - are you sure that he'd still be OK with that arrangement if he doesn't get a clean break and remains liable for the mortgage?

The deeds aren't the issue. Your husband is liable for the mortgage. If you can't afford to remortgage seriously consider selling up and starting afresh.
