Buying rented home alone but living with girlfriend

Which introduces another thought into the equation - suppose the girlfriend decides to stage an "accidental" pregnancy on her own? What happens then? A jointly-planned pregnancy would count as permanent I would say but a solo decision on that by the girlfriend wouldnt - but how would one prove it hadnt been a joint decision?

No-one would have to prove it was a joint decision or not.

She wouldn't gain rights to his house because she was pregnant.

Easily done as the female is usually responsible for contraception in a relationship. That's why so many threads here are about "betrayed" boyfriends, "tricked" into a pregnancy.

So many "betrayed" men that take zero responsibility for contraception in the relationship and fail to realise that even when used correctly no form of contraception is 100% effective except for abstinence you mean.

The OP's girlfriend still couldn't get pregnant on her own, she would need sperm from somewhere.

If the OP is that concerned about his gf being able to make a claim on the property after contributing toward the mortgage I can only imagine that all this talk of unplanned pregnancies will put the fear of God into him.

No they are not, that they usually end up having to be the one to take action because so many men don't, does not mean that they are solely responsible.

...and all the women that apparently forget there's a fallback option for an unwanted pregnancy. It's called abortion. In case, somehow, an "accident" had happened ever (which it didn't ) I kept the phone number to hand of a clinic in case of need and would have been on the phone making an appointment the same day (unless it was a Sunday of course and thus closed for the weekend). No need to even tell the boyfriend until after the event.

What on earth have other people's contraceptive and reproductive choices got to do with you?

This, along with the arson comments in the other thread, are making me wonder what you've been up to today and if it was strictly legal!

We all land up paying for them - via taxes.

Voluntary work - perfectly legal.

That's what I meant. Men taking no responsibility and then feeling tricked. Sorry, didn't express it right.

You do know that not all contraceptive methods require someone to remember to take something. Some contraceptives are implanted and any failure has nothing to do with user error as the user doesn't have to do anything. Even those that do require you to take a pill, whilst very effective are still not 100% effective.

As for having Vera Drake's number on speed dial and sneaking off for abortions behind the father's back that's up to you. I prefer being in a relationship with someone whom I can discuss such matters with and whose input I value.

Errrr.... have things got a wee bit off-topic? Just a tiny tad?

My questions are:

1 - a)Will my girlfriend have any right to the house if she moves in on day one? I heard she may have to be classed as an occupier if she lives there throughout? will this be different if she moves out temporarily and she moves in on day 2 after I buy the house?

2- a)will her bad credit rating affect my mortgage rates? will this be different if she moves out temporarily and she moves in on day 2 after I buy the house?

3) Also - if I move my girlfriend out until day 2 - should I buy building insurance for when there is a single occupier or multiple occupiers?
