I'm surprised if those really were the only three scenarios Martin could come up with. As someone who is using the above method to decide how much we get from upcoming sale of our house currently in small positive equity (and with me being the one who put the deposit in), reading Martin's suggestion of the 'Equal Split' made my blood run cold.

Hi
Do note I said I could only come up with three 'simple' scenarios - one key difference here as I note in the blog, is I have automatically chosen to repay the mortgage first then divvy up - but I accept this is still a choice. Your method is interesting, the problem here is there are no rights and wrong.
The equal split method is certainly not one I'd personally advocate - yet reading the facebook discussion on this a common suggestion is "take what you put in to start with then divide the rest in half"
And this is the problem - there are many ways to calculate this, each favour one party or the other and have many arguments to them. Never easy.
