Why doesn't he just get himself a nice flat like the OP did then sell up and rejoice! She seemed to find it quite easy.0

Or are those sorts of schemes really bad news? No experience, just a thought.
No, it wouldn't work like that. If they are joint owners they do not have distinct halves. It would simply be a charge on the property which they both still own. It would be possible for the OP to transfer her share of the property to her ex and he raise the funds to buy her out, but I still would not recommend an equity release scheme to do this.0
