If not, well I guess we'll have to sell up.

He'd be stupid to transfer the mortgage to your names. He is part owner of the house, and therefore has a stake in possible proceeds if the house were sold. More importantly, he has a say in deciding if the house is to be sold or not. If your uncle is on the deeds he can block (or at the very least delay) the sale of the house. You need to get a solicitor. Pronto! You're in a serious muddle that could take £££££££££ to sort out depending on your uncle's willingness.
