    TBH ddiand, I really think you will struggle to get a mortgage for £90k on £16k earnings [6x your pay] and if you did, would you be able to afford the repayments?
    On a cheaper 2 yr fixed rate the repayments over 13yrs [until you're age 65] are £750pm. Then you've all the other associated costs like council tax and utilities before you even get to living expenses.
    I know it's probably not what you want to hear but unless you could get assistance from other sources, perhaps family, or more from the ex, it's probably a non-starter. As for what ex has done with your money I'm not qualified to advise, but I would certainly urge you to see a solicitor about it. To be blunt he has "jobbed" on you & bullied you during your relationship, don't take his word now you're splitting up "he if i put him in a corner i won't get a penny" get your own advice as to what you may be entitled to. Don't let him bully you further.
  • situation now that my ex partner ( I invested mymoney in our relationship) says legally not bound to give me a penny My name not on anything. wouldnt put me on deeds won't put me in will. wouldn't put me on poll tax. Have no pension. house was my pension.

    Hi ddiand, Did you get legal advice? Seems like he/she was pulling a fast one.
