    Surely your partner knows about your sickness and the impact upon your ability to contribute towards your share of the mortgage? Why havent you discussed this with him before seeking advice from a whole load of total strangers?

    Possibly but I don't want to put that burden on him. It's my half of the mortgage and it should be my responsibility to see through and pay it

    You could still pay it back to him.

    Indeed. He pays the extra and then OP pays it back over a few months.Hardly rocket science to work that one out ! Keeps the loan off the books and stops worrying the lender.

    Got to say, if the OP is this tight on money, and also don't discuss with their partner what frankly is a trivial amount in the context of a house purchase, are they ready to buy a house, and buy a house together ?
