Hi there,

Just a quick question - a friend of mine is in difficulty with his mortgage and is getting his sister to go as second applicant on the mortgage. Does this mean that both names will be on the deeds of the house?
 
Do you mean he is in difficulty in getting a mortgage when applying or in difficulty paying it now?
 
He is separated and was trying to get a new mortgage on his own for the home he lives in but with banks been very tight on lending at the moment he has no option but to get a a second applicant. Long story - way too long to get into it!

Does anyone know if the second applicant goes onto the house Deeds?
 
Your friend cannot afford the existing mortgage on their home (PPR ?) and wants a new mortgage with a co-signer.

If he is separated, does his former partner's name appear on the existing mortgage and / or would the the house be regarded as the family home [broken link removed]?
 
His sister should think very carefully about what she is getting into before she signs on any dotted line.
 
In my experience, yes the deeds will have to hold both names.
It may not be in the sister's interest to have her name on a loan and not have any interest in the property as she is equally responsible for payments....
