change of parties together mortgage

Hi I split up fron my ex 7 years ago and remained 'stuck' on the mortgage with him due to negative equity. He has now agreed to a change of parties however my question is: as it is a together mortgage from Northern Rock made up of part mortgage and part unsecured loan, is it only the mortgage that will transfer or the mortgage and the loan? Thank you.

    A transfer of equity only relates to a mortgage.

    The unsecured loan would need to be fully repaid. Perhaps he could apply for a new unsecured loan to repay the one in joint names.

    Or he could remortgage away from Northern Rock, and consolidate the unsecured debt on to the new mortgage
