Being added to a mortgage question

johnscales

I have an existing mortgage of my own and my partner and I are considering adding me to hers. What are the implications for my existing mortgage? i.e what do I need to tell my existing lender since my guess is that my primary home would be changing. Do they even need to be told? Thanks

will your income be sufficient to support both mortgages?
who will be living in your current property when you move out?

Hi Caz3121.
Yes, I am currently paying my mortgage already and she is currently paying hers. I will also be paying my half of the mortgage on the joint property if we persue joint ownership.
My options for my existing property would then be to subsequently rent it out.

You will need to apply to your current lender for consent to let and the questions which you will need to answer about your future housing plans will be contained therein.
