    You need to get a clearing balance for his loan and then take out a loan in your name and pay off his loan.

    You can't just swap a loan over to you.

    Okay. The certificate of ownership has a change of owner and address on the back which he can send to Shannon as detailed on it. You will then get a new certificate. I am not sure if certificate is the correct word, could be called the registration paper!

    However, we might want to talk about the elephant in the room. The bank will not check if you own the car. The bank will check if your friend has any loans with them or any other bank! Who owns the car is not the problem. Its the person who owns the debt has the problem.

    I might just add that a debt on a car loan or any other type of loan is not necessarily a bad thing. showing your ability to pay the loan may help your mortgage application. This is obviously all subject to circumstances

    you haven't tried getting a mortgage lately. They want no debts, a completely clean slate. Otherwise you'll only get approved for an amount that will get you a 2 bed cardboard box.

    Hang on, he voluntarily wants a sub-prime mortgage? Via mortgage fraud?

    Is the car worth as much as the loan. Potentially you get stuck with a loan of €10,000 while he has the car, which is only worth €5,000. What if he forgets to pay the insurance and crashes the car or it is stolen / burnt out ?

    OP, what your friend is suggesting is fraud. He needs to declare any outgoings on his mortgage application so that it can be assessed properly.

    Threads of this nature are not allowed on this forum. For more information see the Charter. TBH, I'd be very surprised if any of the forums on boards allowed people to give you advice on how to do this.
