Hi good folks!
Newbie here in awe of all the great advice being given!
I am in a bit of a pickle and hoping for some advice please.
Basically, a few years back I bought a new house with my ex-partner. I couldn't get a new mortgage due to bad credit, however, I had equity in the property I owned at the time before we bought the new house.
I sold my house and we used the equity towards the purchase the new house (£40k) but the mortgage and deeds are in my ex-partners name and I am not named anywhere as having any form of claim against the property.
I think I should have put my name on the deeds when we bought the house but I was advised by my ex that this would not be possible?
The relationship ended badly and I moved out of the house. I am trying to start a new life. I need to at least receive the money I deposited in the house we shared to be able to secure reasonable accommodation, however, my ex refuses to repay the money I put towards the house they now live in.
I would be grateful for any advice as to how I can reclaim the money from the house if it is at all possible. I can evidence that my equity in the house I sold was put towards payment of the shared house but other than that I have no other documentation.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
