buying council house

[anne1978]

in process of buying my house is it possible for just my name to appear on the deeds when both me and my partners are on the mortgage? ....or should his name have been on the application to the council start with? will my application be refused if his name is on the mortgage?

[Ethel]

The mortgage company will insist both names are on the Registered Title if they are lending to you jointly.

However, his name needn't be on the initial application to the Council, but should have been on the mortgage application.

Speak to the mortgage company.
