Michelle has been brilliant. What really stood out to me was how kind and genuinely supportive she was. I never felt like I was just another client or being pushed towards a product. She really took the time to understand my situation. As things evolved throughout the process, she would go back over the options, question things when we came up against an obstacle and really advocate for me rather than just accepting the first answer she was given. She was incredibly thorough and always took the time to make sure I understood what the different options actually meant for me. I really felt she had my best interests at the fore throughout, and that gave me a lot of confidence in her. She was also incredibly responsive and flexible and really went out of her way to help. It felt like genuine care, not just good customer service. I’m really grateful for all the time and thought she put into helping me and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Brian at the Financial Guys supported my partner in securing life insurance and critical illness cover. It wasn't a straightforward application, but Brian made sure the process was clear and stress-free. Really knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Thank you!

Having been recommended The Financial Guys to help with our mortgage renewal this year we are ecstatic with the result. We had a clear idea of what we wanted from our renewal however the expertise from the advisors ensured we got the best deal. We were guided from start to finish by Gill and Josh and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. They were on hand for every query no matter how small or how many times we changed our minds. I wouldn’t think of using anybody else in the future

My husband and myself spoke to Josh at a few video calls to arrange a joint will and income protection insurance. At every call Josh was friendly, informative and gave sound guidance. He was always punctual and his communication in between calls was great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove my spouse's name from the mortgage without refinancing?

Yes, this can be done. However, the person remaining in the property must be able to afford the mortgage on their own. This is called a transfer of equity and must form part of the financial settlement agreement when finalising the divorce. If you are looking to raise funds for the settlement, this may need refinancing. 

How does selling the home work in a divorce?

When selling the home, the proceeds from the sale are used to pay off the existing mortgage, and any remaining equity is divided according to the divorce settlement. This can provide a clean financial break for both parties.

What is a buyout in a divorce mortgage context?

A buyout involves one spouse refinancing the mortgage in their name alone and paying the other spouse their share of the home’s equity. This allows one spouse to keep the home while the other receives their financial share.

What if I can’t qualify for a refinance on my own?

If you cannot qualify for a refinance on your own, consider:

Guarantor: Finding a guarantor to help you qualify.

Income Improvement: Working on increasing your income or reducing debt.

Lender Flexibility: Consulting with different lenders to find one with more flexible criteria.

How does a divorce affect my credit score?

A divorce itself doesn’t directly affect your credit score, but missed mortgage payments or other joint debts can. Ensuring all joint debts are paid on time and closing joint accounts can help protect your credit.

What if my spouse stops making mortgage payments?

Both parties are responsible for the mortgage until it is refinanced or sold, even if one spouse moves out. If your spouse stops making payments, you should make them to protect your credit and then seek legal recourse to address the issue.
