Separation and property finance

The finance options when a relationship ends

Separation involves some of the most significant financial decisions you will make. The family home may need to be sold, one party may want to buy out the other, or both parties may need to establish independent lending. Lendology handles the finance side with professionalism and sensitivity - helping you understand your options and move forward.

✓
Buyout serviceability - We calculate whether the buying party can service the existing mortgage independently - factoring in child support, spousal maintenance and any new financial obligations.
✓
Income from maintenance - Some lenders accept child support or spousal maintenance as income when assessing serviceability. Treatment varies - Lendology identifies the most favourable lender for your income combination.
✓
Property valuation - An accurate property valuation is critical for a fair buyout. Lendology works with lenders who use independent valuers - not drive-by estimates.
✓
Stamp duty on transfers - Property transfers resulting from a relationship breakdown may be exempt from stamp duty in SA in certain circumstances - your family lawyer or conveyancer advises on this. Lendology coordinates the finance alongside the legal process.
How it works

The Lendology process

1
Understand your current position
We review the existing mortgage, current property value, available equity and each party's individual income and liability position.
2
Identify the options
We present the realistic options - buyout, sell and split, or both parties purchasing independently - with an honest assessment of what is financially achievable.
3
Structure the new loan
For buyout situations we arrange the new loan in the purchasing party's name, coordinating with your family lawyer and conveyancer on the transfer of title.
4
Independent purchases
For either or both parties purchasing separately, we assess borrowing capacity independently and identify the right loan across our lender panel.

Common questions

FAQs

Can I buy out my ex-partner from the family home?
Yes - if you can service the mortgage independently. Lendology assesses your borrowing capacity as a sole borrower, taking into account your income, any child support or maintenance obligations, and the equity position. If you can service the loan, we arrange the refinance into your name alone.
What happens to the mortgage if we separate?
Both parties remain jointly liable for the mortgage until it is refinanced into one name or the property is sold. Lendology can advise on the finance options - but decisions about property settlement are ultimately agreed between the parties and may require a family lawyer.
Can child support income be used when applying for a home loan?
Some lenders accept child support payments as income when assessing serviceability. Treatment varies - some accept 100% of child support, others apply a shading factor or require the payments to have been received for a minimum period. Lendology identifies the most favourable lender for your income combination.
Is stamp duty payable when transferring the property between separating partners?
In SA, property transfers resulting from a marriage or de facto relationship breakdown may be exempt from stamp duty in certain circumstances. This is a legal question that your family lawyer or conveyancer will advise on - Lendology coordinates the finance alongside this process.
