It is very simple to check who owns a property. Go to

Go to 'public' (left hand side) and underneath 'who owns a property'.
As girlintheattic says, it is unusual, but not impossible for two individuals and a company to own a property.
But let's just say for a minute, he is telling the truth. Both he and his wife have agreed the marriage is over, they are living separate lives under one roof, and the only thing keeping them together is the complication of owning a house between them..... lets just say...
Since there is nothing to hide, and they are both adults making joint decisions about how they live their lives, then of course you have his land-line number don't you? There is no problem with you phoning the house, or leaving a message with the ex if he happens to be out, is there? I am sure that he and his ex make arrangements so that she goes out with her friends occasionally so that he can have you over for a nice meal, as no doubt he does the same for her. And if you and he were to bump into her in the pub or the street, he would introduce you, because after all there is nothing to hide... because the ex is fully aware that the relationship is over and he is completely free to have a relationship with you, isn't he?
On the other hand, it is probably more likely that he is using 'smoke and mirrors' to dupe both his wife and you, to string you both along, and he is not actually being open and honest with either of you.
If you listen to your intuition, you will know. Whether you choose to listen, depends on you.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
