Mortgage split

My ex partner wants to remove his name from our joint mortgage now we have split. I can pay him out but will the lender allow me to take over the whole mortgage ? I can afford the payments just and my parents will be guarantors but I am not sure that I will be allowed to take the mortgage . Does any one know what may happen ? Could the building society withdraw my mortgage even without a default ?

    Withdraw it, no.

    Refuse to let you take it over and your partner come off it , possibly.

    They will re-underwrite the case based on today's criteria. You need to speak to them.

    If they will not do it there may be other lenders that will.

    If you cannot afford the mortgage then selling the property will be your only option to appease your ex partner.
