Summary
Jonathan Kline-Spink , Director at Market Street Finance , unpacks what banks are really looking at when someone is separating and hoping to keep the family home. We talk about the difference between borrowing capacity and affordability , why keeping the family home after separation is often more complex than people expect, and how lenders reassess risk when a joint mortgage becomes a single loan. Jonathan explains how banks consider income, expenses, child support, and property values; why finance approvals fall through, and the importance of having honest, early conversations before negotiating outcomes. We also cover common issues that arise during separation, including credit files, missed payments during high-stress periods, and a broker's ethical obligation to act in a client's best interests. This episode is for anyone navigating separation or divorce and trying to work out whether buying out an ex and keeping the family home is financially viable.
