Removing my Ex

Some advice, my ex-partner and I split around 7 years ago. We had a joint mortgage, I put in £85,000 which I can prove as it was from my old property solely in my name but no declaration of trust.

We did however have it on the deeds that I own 67% he owns 33%, Property was bought for £250,000 now worth £270,000, I have provided 3 valuations, financials are £270,000 property valuation minus £165,000 interest only mortgage.

Share to him after costs of estate agents for sale and conveyancing are £33,333. I have offered him £30,000 this he did accept now is messing me around.

This is after saying he would take £25,000 then changing his mind and making it £33,000.
He basically wants a gagging order, I have said I will sign this but it is not legally binding on the condition that he does not contact me and allows my family to move on with our lives.

He has said he would rather keep his investment, can he force me to not by him out or sell?

There is a personal circumstance that makes this quite difficult everything has to be done via solicitor’s and he is scared as well that if I tell his governing body something he may lose his livelihood, and potentially his family name that he has built in the new area he lives as he has something on his criminal record that he has been convicted of against my family that has not been disclosed to them and that would not be liked by the people in his area.

All I want is to be able to move on with my life, can he either A) say he doesn’t want to cash in his investment? Or B) Refuse to sign unless I sign something legal to say I won’t talk, this I cannot do in the eyes of the law as a civil matter cannot be brought into a transfer of equity.
