split up scenario (sols) might need to be in legal

Hi

I have heard of a situation of a friend and looking for a little advice. Question here is in a situation where there is a joint mortgage and affordability is met by the two apps incomes together but neither applicant on their own. Hence i assume the lender would not release either app from the mortgage.

In this scenario assuming above is correct is there anyway for one app to legally remove the other apps interest in the property without releasing them from the mortgage?

    Only exit route is to sell the property and repay the debt.

    The persons named on the mortgage are jointly and severally liable for the debt. No a situation that one of the parties will wish to be left in.
