    Just to clarify - you bought the shop in joint names with your business partner for £43000 i.e. £21500 each. You bought your partner's half interest in the business (was it half?) and his share in the property for £14000.

    Two questions initially:

    How much of the £14000 related to the purchase of the property half share?

    What is/was your wife's interest in the shop business?
  • Partners share was 14000 of the property which he got back wife became joint owner when he left (property only )
  • no ideas then ?
