    I have a question regarding the setting up of my loan. I am going through the preapproval stage of my loan and wanted to know that if my wife’s name is on the loan, but not on the title of the property, can I still claim 100% of deductions under my name only and against my income?

    From a lenders point of view, it's not normally an issue having husband and wife on the app but only having one on the title.

    Cheers

    Yeah – the deductions are determined by ownership. If you own 100% of the property than your entitled to 100% of the deductions.

    As Jamie said however i am assuming you are also on the loan application?

    If not it will be considered a 3rd party application and not acceptable.

    I will assume you understand the implications of having your wife on the loan for potential future lending.

    dont put her on the loan if you can avoid it. you are doubling the risk and hurting borrowing capacity for the future.
