Remove a Name from a Mortgage

Hi, my mother took over from my ex on the mortgage back in Oct 2005 as I had been self employed less than 3 years & my income couldn't be used solely. I am now remarried & haven't had contact with my mum for over 4 years. She did ask, by email, to have her name removed from the mortgage 2.5 years ago but didn't sign the paperwork & despite request by myself to have her removed now, she won't respond. She has never made any financial contribution since being added & I don't owe her any money, does anyone know of how/if I can get her name removed? With thanks.

You can't do it without her written agreement to the transfer. Your only option is to force a sale if you wish to use legal action.I am a mortgage broker.

You'll also need the lender's agreement as they'll need to be sure you can afford it by their criteriaSo many glitches, so little time...0
