Can you change a mortgage into someone else’s name?
If you simply want to transfer your own mortgage to another person, it is possible, but there are a few strings attached. This is known as gifting a property. Lenders will only entertain this once the original mortgage has been cleared. Typically, you’re removing yourself from the mortgage by repaying the loan in full.
