having trouble getting my name off the deeds

furby-2003

I have two flats I rent out that I bought when I came into some money. They are sold so I have most of the money for the home just not one that really ticked all the boxes as I couldn't get close enough to the kids school and further away from work and 1 room short to what I needed really. They are still being completed at the moment but the rent has stopped so my only income is my wages. I will litterally have to borrow for furniture ect. I think if I pull out of the purchase the thought of spending any longer than I have to with him would honestly send me round the bend. All he does all day is walk the dog, sit in his office and go to his moms house. Which is great for peace lol but Im having to keep up the house, work, look after the kids and deal with all of this on my own.

You have 12 months to reclaim the additional stamp duty. The money isn't lost.

My partner and i are splitting up. The house is paid for outright. We are not married but both on the deeds. out of a £220k house he's offered me £60 unless I want a fight so i've given up as I really need to find something for me and the kids. I have found a property and have put an offer in (that was a month ago) Since then i've been trying to get my name off the deeds as when this goes through I don't want to be names on two properties. He's not co-operating and two solicitors i've been to now want his solicitors name to progress but he doesn't have one. I really don't know what to do as the stamp duty being classed as a second home is a lot more and I just can't afford for this to happen. I have tried to speak to his mom about this (his only other relative) but she just laughs and tells me to stop nagging him. What can I do?

Get an occupation order and move back in.  If he still insists on playing silly buggers then you will need to force the sale of the property through the courts but at least if you are the one living in it a) you don't have to worry about finding somewhere else to live, b) you would be more in control of any sale.  That might sharpen his mind.

Also, ignore his mother.

I have already put an offer an a house a month ago which was accepted. This is why I need it sorted. He never told me to move out but he wouldn't and arguments got physical so i just wanted to leave.

This isn’t going to get sorted in time for you to buy this new place. The vendor will get !!!!!! off waiting and find a new buyer. Sort your current housing situation out and then once you have the money start looking for somewhere to buy. 

If your ex is being abusive have you spoken with one of the DV organisations to help you? 

I've spoken to them don't worry. Im just trying to lay low and keep my distance. Its all mental to be honest which is the worst. But one day he pushed me over the edge taking my son off to do his homework at his moms house insisting Im incapable of dealing with him and saying he will be taken off me. Its all rubbish we are really close and i;ve dealt with him pretty much on my own from day 1 (I home-schooled him myself for 12 months). He just knows how to push my buttons to get me to react.

You have all the money? Is that why you're only getting 60k out of the house?

No he says he owes his mom the deposit back and i get half of whats left according to him. I know I can get more but as I said I didn't want to fight him as he and his mom will go against me together ..

They are my flats in my name and have nothing to do with the house I live in im just lucky I have them to sell.

furby-2003

He seems to think he can get the equity from the house to pay her back and give her the £60k shes lending him to give him. I haven't told him this won't work as he's not old enough as I don't want him to pull out of the deal.
