Rights? I don't think you have any.0

To stop the ex's threat to remove goods from the property, change the lock barrels. If he brings this to your attention, you can then apologise for forgetting to give him a copy of the new key.
Keep plugging on through the paperwork, and whenever the ex tries to spite his own face, remind him of the next mortgage date looming. While his name is on the M, it's his house too. For an easier life, it's probably best if the new guy waits until everything is signed and sealed before he moves in with you. Right now the ex is able to throw a spanner in the works, if he so chooses.0 -
i must have rights. its my house i paid the deposit i lived here four years and he was here months only and stopped paying. he contributes nothing. hes signed a letter saying he wants to come off. i can take the house over. if i have no rights it means he can bully me and take away my home which ive oaid 40,000 into. i must have some rights0

You paid the deposit but did you have a Deed of Trust drawn up to protect it the event of a split? He's a 50% co-owner and until he signs the papers he's able to mess you about until Doomsday if he feels like it. Meanwhile every mortgage-payment that you make which he does not brings him closer and closer out of negative equity.
The best way I think of dealing with this is to let him do what he wants so he signs. Fridges and wardrobes can be replaced but your peace of mind may not.
Do whatever it takes to be finally free of him0 -
If it's your house, why did you add a boy-friend to the mortgage?0

^^^^^ this.
I know it's not the question that you asked, but seriously, as you managed to buy your home alone in the first place, why not keep it to yourself - at least until you have been with your current partner for a lot longer. You might well find yourself in the same position albeit with a different partner. What about getting a lodger if the house is big enough. Also as your partner will be living with you, he will be contributing to bills etc anyway, without the need for a stake in your home.0 -
