    Good. Let's move on and stop arguing about it then.

    OP, I am not trying to offend you.

    Pretty much anything is legally possible.
    Some of these things, however, require a fair amount of money.
    It is perfectly legal (unless there's anything glaringly relevant that you haven't told us!) for you to get a mortgage.

    That is the answer to the question you have asked.
    But I _don't_ believe that that is the answer to the question that you want to know.

    This is MoneySavingExpert. You are wanting to do this to save money.
    I think it would be wrong of us to answer the question and not mention that we don't think it will save you money. I think it would be unhelpful of us to not suggest ways in which you could save money.
  • thank you, i appreciate you coming back to this

    husband bought the house before we were together, my main issue would be that i am effectively taking it from him (although i knwo that as we are married i have some sort of entitlement to the house - that is not what i am trying to do, just in case anyone thinks it) and as it has about 80k equity

    yes it was an idea to save money, and i think i need to dig out the last statement on the mortgage so i can post the figures accurately

    No problem.
    Let us know the figures from the statement and we'll see what we can come up with.
