Rent. Somewhere else.


Your partner needs to get real.

And this is exactly why you should have nothing whatever to do with this harebrained scheme, however many rows and recriminations that may produce. People who get so blinkered that they cannot spot the dangers looming ahead deserve to come unstuck, and usually do. Why should her arrogance and stupidity land you up to your neck in manure a few years down the line?

Only a fool would commit themselves to years and years of paying out huge sums of money on the say-so of someone else without at least taking professional advice on the safety - of the entire family, I might add - or otherwise of jumping into deep water to grab what at first sight seems a lifeline.

Why do you refer to yourselves as partners when it is abundantly clear that your concerns, worries and completely justified reservations are simply being walked all over and ignored? Where's the equality in that, especially if you are going to be paying the lion's share of the costs with no protection of your rights whatever!

To be honest, it is the refusal to give your views any credence that would worry me more than any other aspect of this whole situation.

Would the mortgage co allow you to have the mortgage with the sister as guarantor?

common sense has prevailed,after a long heated exchange with my partner she came round to my way of thinking and isn't going to proceed with her sister for the house,her sister's heart was in the right place but wouldn't of been fair to anyone had they gone ahead with it,as for her sister being the guarantor that is a possibility if we need to go that route,we have just cleared my partners debts and now going to focus on mine which isn't that much and then see if we can get a mortage together and have a guarantor if we need one,we will just have to be patient in our quest to move out of our hell hole,thanks to everyone for the advice it was very much appreciated.

Well done knoxy, this is by far the best course of action, if you want to get out of where you are just rent a new place. I wish you all the best.
