Hi, I got a joint mortgage with a mate back in 1998 and we pretty much fell out within months. He left the country (to Northern Ireland) and I've lived in the house and paid the mortgage ever since.
The mortgage was with Abbey National Mortgage & Finance.
Now, seeing as I put the deposit on the house and have all the repayments come out of my account - how do I get his name off the mortgage?
I went to see a lawyer who said it would cost £5000 to do this! Really?
I can't go over to find him to get him to sign papers. What do married people do on 'abandonment'?
I'm loathe to pay £5k to get his name off as there's only £10k outstanding now!
