PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I do agree with the above posts, if you are withholding financially to get the 'better deal' I don't think the relationship is ever going to be harmonious. Splitting bills is one thing, but what if you have a kid, are you going to split that neatly down the middle too?!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

If you are a lodger to have no interest in the house you should pay £300 plus your share of the food. If you want to be really fair, you buy out half the house, you use the £70k to match his equity and pay half the mortgage.
I'm really pleased that you are going into this with your eyes open and it is how you resolve discussions such as this which will give you the answers you need about whether you want to spend the rest of your lives together. Just make sure whatever you agree you take legal advice on.0
