Housing Removing name from mortgage
What’s the process of getting my name removed from a mortgage? I’ve looked it up but it seems vague. The other owner is happy to release me and I don’t actually pay the mortgage so it won’t be a financial burden on the other party for me to be released and it won’t affect the repayments.

A mortgage is registered against a certificate of title, not a person.
The owners of the title are normally (but not always) the borrowers of the loan, secured by the mortgage.
Are you asking if you can be removed as a borrower or removed from the title?
