    Did you pay him via direct debit? How did you label the transfer? Contribution to bills and mortgage would be good. Contribution towards bills not so.

    Im reading all this and wondering how amicable your separation is

    It could be difficult and costly to proove you are entitled to anything legally, but what would happen if you worked out a fair figure and just asked for it?

    "Dear Ex, i have paid 1/2 the mortgage for the last 6 months and 1/4 for the first year, and contributed £x towards the renovation so I expect y% of the increase in house value"

    If you keep it reasonable he may see it as a cheap way to separate without any fuss.
