Partner bought a house without me

  • I own my own house and thinking about her wanting to have a 50% share of the ownership in it, I too would definitely not agree to this.

    Another real concern that could arise is that in the event of a future break-down of their relationship, he would most probably have move out and she would get to keep the house to live in with her 2 children and he would not only be liable for all the bills etc but may never be able to gain access to the property again. A new "father figure" might also come into the equation and move in too. It happens.

    Inheritence is also a major concern, her children being able to gain, and his future pension from the house in jepardy.

    I do wonder how she is able to finance her self-employment and finance the bringing up of her children too.

    Her future, in the event of her getting a mortgage: the FCA have tightened up their affordability criteria considerably, double checking everything, including those of child support.

    From her letter he seems very level headed and sensible with his money. Could be quite an age gap here. My view is: she is a liabilty as regards a shared equitable foundation for marriage. I ask myself what is in it for him longterm too.

    Just my thoughts. She should move on.
