My sister has found herself in a difficult situation after buying a house with long term boyfriend. They purchased a house together last year but it is not working out for them and now he wants to split up.
He does not want to live in the house but she can't afford to buy his share.
She desperatly wants to hold on to the house as the thought of getting deposit for a new house nearly kills her.
I hate to see her in this situation and would like to help her out if i can.
So,
I am thinking of buying her ex partners share of the house and moving in to the house with her. we could hold on to the house for a fixed amount of time (5 yrs.) and then sell.
My questions are
1. What is the easiest way to go about this?
2. do i have to get out a mortgage with the same lenders that they have their mortgage with ?
3. Should we consider an "interest only" for the short term, considering we would sell in 5 years. (would this even be possible ?)
Many thanks for any help that anyone can offer
