re/mortgage - title deeds

Hello,
I have a £25k professional development loan that I will start paying off later his year. My mother has kindly offered to allow me to use the family home to borrow against/mortgage to pay off the loan and have a longer payment holiday in order to travel, or get on the property market study further etc. The home is fully paid off and has been for a number of years.

She want to deed of gift it to me, however 1/3 of the house is held my by father. Does anone know if it is possible to get a mortgage on 2/3 fo a property held as tenants in common? I know full title deeds will be required for most loans but I thought I would see if anyone has any views on this. We are currently arranging transfer of the remaining third but this is taking a very long time.

grateful for any feedback!

    It doesn't matter who owns what share as far as a lender is concerned. They don't lend on bits of property. They lend on, and repossess all of it.

    The joint owners will all have to be borrowers and the debt is joint and several, so everyone gets chased for payment if you default.
