Costs of moving

[Chocolatekrispy]

What are the costs of buying a house ?
Not selling just the buying part?
Do the solicitors take the money out before they give you what's left of the profit or do you pay them after ? Tia

Oh OP this sounds miserable

So you own the current house together? Joint tenants or tenants in common? Have you been paying the mortgage equally, and what’s the position in terms of shares of any equity? Are you confident that you’re getting your fair share out of the sale?

Honestly, I know you didn’t ask for relationship advice but if you’re at the point that you’re arguing this much about who pays for movers I don’t think the relationship has legs. Would consider getting some independent advice if you haven’t already. Sounds like you would be better off taking control of the situation and finding yourself a new place to live rather than moving into the house he’s buying for himself.

I don't think moving to a new house which your partner wants you to have no rights to is going to fix this relationship. Sounds like he's trying to pull a fast one. If I understand this correctly (and I'm not sure I do) he could get you to pay half his legal and moving fees then split up with you 2 months down the line - cheap move for him
