Hi
I currently have a joint mortgage with the Halifax bank, this mortgage is with my ex partner, She has moved out and i want to transfer the mortgage into my sole name do i need to have a deposit or equity in the house to do this?
Also there is a default of £320 i have on my credit file for an old current account with Sandanter would this have a bearing on me getting a mortgage?

You need to request your ex to be taken off the mortgage with Halifax. However they will only agree if you fit criteria to support the mortgage on your own.
Your ex has to agree, and the a transfer of equity would need to be carried out via solicitors.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
