Divorce: Who Gets The House?

Divorce is tough, especially when it comes to deciding who keeps the house. But don't worry, there's help available. Let's talk about why it's essential to get expert mortgage advice during this time. We'll cover everything from dividing assets to protecting your home and financial stability. Remember, while friends offer support, professional advice is key to securing your future.

Understanding property division

Dividing assets in divorce is more than just splitting ‘stuff’. It's like solving a puzzle with factors like money, kids, and the family home. The house, filled with memories, often becomes the heart of the debate.

Mortgage matters

Divorce has an impact on mortgages, especially joint ones. Figuring out who handles the payments can be overwhelming. Lenders look at things like income and debts to decide who can take on the mortgage.

Why you need expert advice

In the whirlwind of emotions and legalities, seeking expert mortgage advice is a must. Skilled mortgage brokers know the ins and outs of divorce-related finances. They'll guide you through options tailored to your needs.

Unlocking equity as a lifeline

If you're keeping the house, unlocking its equity can be a game-changer. Equity release lets you access cash without selling your home, offering a financial lifeline during tough times

Tailored solutions for over 55s

For those over 55, lifetime mortgages provide flexibility. You can borrow against your home's value without immediate repayment worries, ensuring financial stability.

Protecting your home with pensions

Pensions can also play a role in securing your home. Offset a substantial pension against your home's value to maintain ownership, ensuring stability for both parties.

Why friends aren’t enough

While friends offer emotional support, financial matters are best left to the experts. Divorce is unique, with complex financial implications. Professional mortgage brokers provide unbiased advice tailored to your situation.
