Shared ownership

My partner can’t currently get a mortgage due to having and IVA. We’ve looked into shared ownership in my name.
If I bought a 40% share now in 5 years time when it comes to remortgaging and my partner is out of his IVA, could he then be put on the mortgage and would we be able to buy a bigger share with him on there?

Yes, this is exactly what I did (although I waited a bit longer than 5 years). Started with 25% on my own, now have 100% in joint names.anonno67982 said:My partner can’t currently get a mortgage due to having and IVA. We’ve looked into shared ownership in my name.

Presumably you pass shared ownership and lender affordability for the 40% share?anonno67982 said:My partner can’t currently get a mortgage due to having and IVA. We’ve looked into shared ownership in my name.
