My wife left me for somone else after 34 years together, now she wants to put the house up for sale. There is no mortgage, the property is worth about £180000. What is my best plan of action to buy out her share.
I am 56 years old and earn £16000 a year I have £30000 in savings which is mine.

You need divorce advice rather than mortgage advice, I think.
She may be entitled to half the value of the house and half your savings (and you to half hers). Nothing in a divorce is as easy as 'mine' and 'yours', unfortunately.
If you offer us some more details, we may be able to help. In any case, good luck.Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0 -
