Relationship Split Equity Split

Asking for interest and a share of the equity is double counting IMO.
Probably a deliberate tactic so that she can ask for something else as part of the overall settlement - in return for giving up her claim for the interest.
My view would be that she should keep the mortgage as it sounds like it was her deposit that allowed you to get the good deal in the first place.
However it would then be reasonable for you to get some sort of 'compensation' for the higher interest rate you'll be paying (but as others have said, only based on say 5 years max.)
One caveat is the reason for the relationship breakdown. Obviously it's no-one's business here but if for argument's sake you had had an affair then a reasonable person (including a judge) may think that you had brought this upon yourself and were not due any compensation.Every generation blames the one before...
