This, all the way!
Either that, or sell up and split the equity.
It would be a cold day in hell before I let an ex move a new partner in. She is clearly a cold hearted b*tch and you're well rid.0 -
Tell her that you have no objection whatsoever ....and that you intend to move in a troublesome family who need a roof over their heads after having been evicted from their previous 10 homes!!0

Turn it into a party house, bring all the mates round to all times and make their life as uncomfortable as yours. See who cracks first. You will need to fight fire with fire or the ex and the new partner will make your life hell in that house.0

It sounds to me that you've been more than reasonable, providing you've offered her a fair price for her share.Note: Unless otherwise stated, my property related posts refer to England & Wales. Please make sure you state if you are discussing Scotland or elsewhere as laws differ.0

Thanks for the replies.
I'm a bit tied as I really want to keep the house as I've put a lot of work into it. I'm a home bird and don't want to move but she won't budge but won't buy me out either.
Think threatening court action is my only option really when I tell her no to her new partner moving in. I want to avoid that though as want to stay amicable.
I was just wanting to know if she could move the partner in against my wishes really. Ive looked all over the net to find the answer but drawing a blank. Think I will have to consult legal services.
Thanks again0 -
T123, I'm a little confused as to why she won't let you buy her out, if you say things are amicable, and she wants to get together a deposit to buy a new place with her current partner?0

or whenever her and her new OH are in your complany, ask her if she remembers various, but specific, love making sessions that the two of you previously enjoyed........................... awkward! :rotfl:0 -

If she won't let you buy her out then it's stalemate. So you may as well just 'be' a cracked record. 'You could easily have a deposit when I buy you out'...ad infinitum.
I vote for being a massive PITA from now on until she finds it unbearable and just moves out.Sanctimonious Veggie. GYO-er. Seed Saver. Get in.0
