My EX is threatening me ...

Who do you mean? You need to quote posts

I took it to mean my post, I wasn't trying to be rude although I think the OP is hoping for more tea and sympathy, than practical advice.

Detatching emotionally takes away any power the OP's ex had and is a brilliant way to stick two finger up at someone that has hurt you and to show they have zero power over you imho.

the OP is getting more than 50% of the proceeds as the property has dropped in value since purchase and the ex has offered her deposit back.

By delaying and being difficult the ex may change his mind about being so generous and returning her deposit in full and tell his solicitors to go for 50/50.

I can see nothing positive about the OP staying in the property and dragging this out further. it's time for everyone to move on and start their new lives

Because saying something and doing it are very different things. The ex can promise her the world to move out but there is a danger that he moves back in himself and can't remortgage (or decides not to) and the op is stuck renting without her deposit and unable to get a mortgage due to being named on this one. Very little she can do - forcing a sale being difficult and expensive. At the moment the ex has to get his side of the bargain in order if he wants op to move out.

But once she's got her money, there's no danger of this?

I'd suggest getting a legal agreement drawn up that on receipt of £x in full and final settlement that OP will vacate the property. Once the mortgage transfer is ready to go though, she should be making arrangements to get out of there asap, if only for her mental wellbeing

20k for extras on a show house sounds too much to me.


Anyway when you move in they are all second hand. What are they company going to do with the items. They are there to help sell their houses. Hence there purpose has been fulfilled.
