So I have a house, 100K equity and one DC. I earn 40K.
DP does not have a house, no savings (debt in fact) no DC and earns 60K.
We want to buy a house together and share our loves. Obviously, for him, moving into a situation with a DC will result in him contributing towards higher costs (food, bills, house big enough for DC etc, he often buys things for DC etc). However, he cannot match my deposit.
Is it reasonable for me to put 50k into house (and keep £50k to spend on me and my DC) for holidays etc and out 50K deposit into our house. We would pay the same bills etc even though my DC will be living with us and pushing up costs and things like weekends away and holidays, we would split equally (I wouldn’t pay extra for DC).
Does this sound fair? I’m not at all concerned about him trying to take more of the deposit than he put in in the event of a split.
YABU - Our plan is awful and unfair to one of us.
YANBU - go ahead, this makes sense.
Thank you in advance.
