Partners contribution as income?

Hi there,

I have a mortgage on my property, which has always been in my name. My partner lives with me and we split everything 50/50.

I have been thinking about remortgaging, but due to adverse credit in the last few years, I don't think adding my partner to the mortgage would be an option.

If I apply as a sole applicant, can I state my parteners contribution as income on the application, or would that be a write off?

Thanks
Pete

    have to be in your name with your income or both names with both incomes.

  • Thanks Crinz - I thought as much!

    I'll have a look at her credit report and see just how bad it is - then make a decision!

    thanks again!
