Maybe you need to assess why your partners house hasn't sold.
There is probably only one reason, because the asking price is too highly inflated. I don't want to offend you, but it is people like you who cause these schemes to even exist, because you won't sell your property to at a reasonable level, and it just sits on the market...

Sell at a level which someone would buy it at, and you wouldn't have a problem selling the house.

I think the OP said that he is already in about 10k ve- equity, so lowering the price isn't really an option.

I can;t see why you can't live in his house though. You don't need another house you want one. You have 2 perfectly good houses, but you want to use schemes designed to help FTB, like myself, get on the housing ladder and keep both houses, so you end up with 3. No doubt, you'd sell both houses when the market recovers making yourself a tidy profit. Stop being greedy. Move into your partners house, move into your house, or stay put.
