Only if you can find a lender happy with the prospect of repossessing 2/3 of the house. Who's going to want to buy in to a house which is still 1/3 owned by mum?km1500 said:

Not at all convinced. But as previously advised, speak to a mortgage broker. If they can find a lender agreeable to the arrangement - great.

Not quite the same thing, but when we (me and himself) bought this place I wanted to be on the deeds but not on the mortgage and it couldn't be done. I'd sold my house for us to buy one together and I put about 50% down as cash for the deposit with him getting a mortgage for the other half. But they wouldn't go for that (how could they repossess half a house, as pointed out above) so we're both on the mortgage and the deeds.
This is a couple of years ago now mind, so things may have changed.
We're joint tenants not tenants in common, but I'm not sure that affects this particular issue.Honesty is the best poverty.2 -
Only if all the parties undertake to be responsible for the payments. As already explained, that isn't necessary (but in practice the general expectation of mortgage lenders is that all the owners are so responsible).km1500 said:as far as reposession goes, you are all responsible for yhe payments

Not really relevant to this situation. Yes with a joint mortgage all are equally responsible for all the payments. But in this case it is being proposed that one owner will not be a joint mortgagee.
