joint mortgage sole proprietor

Hi,

Me and my boyfriend have the above type of mortgage, he is on the deeds and supplied the 50k deposit and since taking out the mortgage I have overpaid by 10k.

We split the bills 50/50 inc the mortgage, but what happens if we split?
The house has increased in value since we purchased 3 years ago, I am worried I will walk away with nothing!

Please advise

    Earlier this year, only you were on the deeds. What has happened since then?
