In any case, what bloke in his right mind would want to move in with his new bird and her ex?
It's weird on so many levels.0 -

Possibly they cannot afford a house on their own? They may be laughing at Trigger's discomfort? Quite happy to front him in the expectation that he will find the situation intollerable, move out but still be tied to paying half of "their" home.
OP did not say how long this amicable separation/ cohabitation has been going on? Did he not foresee what would happen when she found another partner?"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

I agree with a previous comment, why not let you buy her out. Then they could use that towards a deposit.
The fact she wont compromise rings warning bells to me.
Say either she sells to you and starts a new life with her bf elsewhere or you sell and split. Why would they want to live together with her ex, run fast away.Nice to save.0 -

We already know they can't afford a house. It's irrelevant to what I posted.
Please tell me how ANYONE could foresee an amicable split that results in an ex moving their new partner into the house you already share? Any normal, sane person would take the money offered for their share and set up elsewhere.
It's weird, why would any person in their right mind move into a house shared by your new partners ex? Why would you assume it will be the OP who would feel awkward and not the potential lodger?
If you found a new partner and they suggested moving into a house they share with their ex, would you agree?
If you, or anyone else on this thread, say "Yes" to that question, I'd get myself checked out by a psychiatrist for mental health issues.
Bonkers on every level.0 -
Sounds to me like she's loved up, it would be cheaper for the both of them to live together in one house. She likes living where she is, whilst you are tied into the joint mortgage with her you will keep paying half. Happy days for her. Hell for you.
Not sure what planet her new fella is on though, if it were me I would want the ex well and truly out of the equation.0 -
Either way I'd be telling them both to jog on. An ex would move a new partner into MY house over my dead body.
If she went ahead and moved him in regardless, I'd take a sh*t on his pillow every morning.0 -
Does the shared equity scheme allow you to take in lodgers.
Don't forget to notify the lender and the insurance.
if he does move in make sure he pays rent(lots of it).0
