Help 2 buy, separation, morgage advice

Hello
I was hoping to get some advice (I'm also looking for a financial advisor elsewhere)
Me and my partner (not married) have been together for 7 years, things have come to a head and ultimately i want to separate.
Financially we have a morgage together all else is separate.
Our house was bought with a help to buy equity loan when repayments start in 2 years.
I have two teenagers so would ideally like to take on the house/ morgage (I can afford it)
Things I'm worried about is the equity loan, has any one ever gone though a similar situation ?
Also when we bought the house, his deposit was significantly lower then my contribution 80/20% but we are tenants in common. Would he have the right to demand a lot of money from me if the house price has gone up significantly?
Thanks for your thoughts

How have you been splitting the mortgage payments, and has the property risen in value in the time you've owned it?
Can you afford the mortgage at the current higher rates?0 -
Did you get a trust deed when you bought? I don't understand why solicitors don't automatically advise this when couples aren't married and one party puts in more money than the other. I wish this was considered negligence0

I wish this was considered negligenceDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
