    Wow, just discount my posts and call me a liar because you don't agree with them? - I dont know you, you could've posted 2,000 such bits of nonsense. In anycase, it's not true. the story, whether made up by you, or by your friend, is a lie. Of course I don't know the intimate details of what is going on. I know that financially, he put 100% in, and she put in 0%, as it currently stands. - You know more than I do and I'm willing to put £10,000 on this story being wrong. She has openly accepted that and if I really wanted to be a knob about this, I'd just post up whatsapp screenshots from where she states that. - how is that relevant?

    I can't be bothered to go deeper, because I'm essentially stabbing in the dark with regards to the circumstances. - here's a free bit of legal advice, it's not adverse possession. It could NEVER be adverse possession. I don't work in legal, so I don't know where the law stands. - I don't work in legal, I know exactly where it stands. I don't know the ins and outs..... good to see you do though because you've assumed that i'm a liar.- actually I said the story is a lie. It could be your friend Thanks but if you think i'm simply lying (when I have nothing to gain from such a thin) then I thin.


    Right, well I'm telling you it isn't nonsense. It's happening to him right now. - then perhaps he'd be better posting here and getting accurate advice. Whether the circumstances are the same, I don't know. Clearly they aren't because you had to fight to obtain a significant share of equity, whereas he's having to fight to prevent it.

    The only thing at this point that I can guess, is that she is on the mortgage deeds but simply provided a limited financial input. That would allow her to ask for 50% as that's how a shared mortgage works. - No it's not.... again you're assuming to know the law. I got a declaration of trust in my case and as such, the house equity was divided proportionally.
    Seriously whatever your friend is telling you, it's a load of manure.

    Well I'm not lying. I am relaying what is happening to him. So either he is lying or is mistaken or his solicitor is absolutely dreadful.

    Still, I hope you're my solicitor one day if I ever need one.... you sound absolutely superb, like you've never lost :) and you're always right..... I like that.
    He's lying.
    (his solicitor is also dreadful)


    I'm not always right, I'm rarely wrong. And I know when it's worth fighting and when it's not.


    Adverse possession (aside from requiring a much longer time than 6 months!) requires the use of property to be both exclusive and without consent of the owner. It's simply not possible

    I will happily refer him to this website. Many times, I've obtained solid advice off here.... That said, I've been through your recent posts and all you seem to do is post obnoxious 'know-it-all' remarks to everyone, don't you? You don't actually provide helpful tips, you just seem to enjoy putting people down. You may well be the smartest person on this site and have more knowledge about this stuff than anyone, but you never actually show it because you're too busy putting people down, calling them liars, telling them you know more than them or seemingly taking pleasure in their misfortune.

    I'd rather post 2000 bits of nonsense than the kind of unnecessary obnoxious rubbish you appear to post on a daily basis. How about put your knowledge to good use and actually help people? At the end of the day, if you're as smart and as intelligent as you're seemingly desperate to portray, you could potentially help a lot of people instead of wallowing in their misery?

    Anyway, I've said my piece and basically destroyed a thread, so it's probably time to bring this back round to the OP's subject. I will refer my friend to MSE and it's up to him whether he joins or not.

Sure why not You don't actually provide helpful tips, you just seem to enjoy putting people down. - Find me one example of my advice being incorrect and just to put someone down. Just 1. Then link it. Publically. I will put it in my signature with whatever comment you want. You may well be the smartest person on this site and have more knowledge about this stuff than anyone, but you never actually show it because you're too busy putting people down, calling them liars, telling them you know more than them or seemingly taking pleasure in their misfortune. - I'm not the smartest, far from it.

    I'd rather post 2000 bits of nonsense than the kind of unnecessary obnoxious rubbish you appear to post on a daily basis. - my offer stands. Just link it and I'll put it in my signature and say Stoke called me out and was correct How about put your knowledge to good use and actually help people? At the end of the day, if you're as smart and as intelligent as you're seemingly desperate to portray, you could potentially help a lot of people instead of wallowing in their misery? - If people listened it would be helpful. There's a difference between telling people what they want to hear and what they need to hear. Often the 'be nice at all costs brigade' lead people to misery. A short, sharp and correct comment, if heeded would save them from the misery

    Anyway, I've said my piece and basically destroyed a thread, so it's probably time to bring this back round to the OP's subject. I will refer my friend to MSE and it's up to him whether he joins or not.
    Whilst I cannot guarantee your friend will get a better result than the one on the table. If he posts the truth, I suspect this will end up costing him nothing. He can then get you a few beers and maybe make a donation to a charity. Having saved £4k + solicitor costs.

    Like I said, we need to bring this round to the OP, so let's try and wrap this up.

    I don't believe for a second he's lying.... he isn't like that. He's just a nice guy who's gone through a difficult breakup. I suspect he is not lying but is mistaken or his solicitor has potentially given bad advice/misunderstood the circumstances. He is not an academic, and there's a lot of complex legal terminology etc when you're in a solicitors office. I probably shouldn't have dipped my toe in this one though because I've clearly ruffled a few feathers on this thread. I will just assume for the time being that there is perhaps gaps in his story, and once they're filled in, they begin to make sense.....

    OK, instead of turning this into a slanging match... let's meet in the middle: I will ask him to post his situation on here (in another thread). If he doesn't want to, I will ask him to fill in the gaps to me personally and take this privately into a PM with you. I'll give you a chance to prove me wrong, directly. You stand by your point, I stand by mine.... you appear to put people down, and often fail to provide enough information for your post to actually be useful.... telling someone they're wrong is great.... telling them why is better.

    fair enough. Look forward to it.










    The advice is largely correct for the OP, hence why I haven't said anything contrary. The wife can have guests.
    The OP can however live life how he chooses and make it uncomfortable for them. and certainly guests can be asked to leave, contact the police if they refuse. I suspect that the police will ask them to leave, whether lawful or not, to avoid a breach of the peace.
