Tennants In Common

Posts: 10 Forumite
I bought a house with my partner as Tennants in Common 50/50 split. On the TR1 form there is a tick on the deed of trust which also states 50/50 split.
However I wondered that even though I signed this, I did actually put in more to the house and since then with my bonus's etc have again put in more.
Now we are splitting up can I go to court to dispute this and could I possibly get a bigger share? I know I shouldn't have signed this but he has now broken up with me after 18months of buying the house.
many thanks

You can take someone to court for almost anything but this instance I don’t think it would be worth the time or money. You have an existing agreement where you are each entitled to 50% of the equity. You would have to prove to a court that the intention (of both of you) changed since signing the Deed of Trust so that you would be entitled to more equity because you put more into the house. That’s a hard sell not to mention that the legal costs wouldn’t be cheap so in your situation I’d take the 50%.Angusjon said:I bought a house with my partner as Tennants in Common 50/50 split.

In December it was your ex who put more into the property.1

LOL, I know, I'm trying to see it from both points of view, I didn't want to be biased
Thank you for your help. 0 -
If it does go to court until there is a resolution and the solicitor keeps the money until it is resolved, do you know the proper name for this is called?0
