Making changes
You can add or remove a borrower on your mortgage without increasing the amount you’ve borrowed. This is called a change of borrower or transfer of equity. Before we can do this, we’ll need to make sure that you can still afford the payments after we make the change. To do this we will carry out a credit check and an affordability assessment on all applicants.
Please call us on 0300 159 7152 to make an appointment with a mortgage adviser who will guide you through the process. Phone lines are open Monday to Friday 8:30am – 6:00pm.
Important Information
- There needs to be an original borrower remaining on the mortgage. If you wish to remove all original borrowers, you will need to apply for a new mortgage with another lender.
- It will be helpful to have information like payslips, bank statements and how much you spend on your day-to-day expenses ready for your appointment. Work out how much you can afford using our helpful budget planner.
- As part of your application, you will need to appoint a solicitor and pay any associated costs.
- There is a non-refundable application administration fee of £180.00 to carry out a change of borrowers application.
