    Hi betterlife. Are you and your partner married? How long have you lived together and did they own the house before you moved in?

    Hi Betterlife,

    We had two blank pages at the end of the online forms for additional information, so if you have that also you could put the info about this on there. But don't panic you will be able to clarify this with the OR when you can speak to them. Our house is rented and did not go into the asset section. I wonder if you could leave those pages blank and fill in by hand once printed out? I am sure someone will advise further.

    Best wishes for tomorrow.

  • Hi BL09....I would say, as Jenni advises,,,,its not your house so leave blank & speak with the OR as & when.

    Not much more you can do...you may have some equitable value in the property but I would let the OR assess that.
