    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper I've helped Parliament
    Entitled to legally and entitled to morally are two different things. Not that it's any of your business but a huge chunk of the money was put down by my parents. Which she is now 'entitled' to. Hence we have discussed things and she is happy to go for a few thousand. We have only lived here for 3 years and would have selling expenses.
    She is intelligent and knows full well the situation. I didn't come here for people to attempt to pass judgment on a situation they know nothing about.

    How was that chunk declared to the lender,

    Any chance it was a gift?

    If you did not protect that gift as being to just you with a deed then it would be a gift to both of you.

    Very nice of her to want to gift it back.

    Indeed.... surely it's the right thing to do :)
