Can I buy my partner's share of the house?

Yes, you can buy out your partner (uitkopen) by paying them their share of the equity (overwaarde) and taking over the full mortgage, subject to the lender approving the new single-income mortgage. A valuation (taxatie) is usually needed to agree a fair value for the buy-out. Release from joint liability then removes your partner from the loan.
