Hi everyone,
Long time poster under a new name as this could be quite outing. Me and my boyfriend have discussed moving in together. He private rents whilst I own my house. I wanted to sell my house so that we could buy somewhere together. My partner says he cant afford to save anything at all whilst private renting so it would mean me buying the house, and putting their name on the deeds with no contribution. They would be able to contribute monthly, but not towards deposit at all. Please give me advice on what you would do in this situation as I feel awkward about this. AIBU to think that if he wants it to be OUR home then he should be raising half of the deposit himself?
TIA.

Yeah it seems premature to buy straight away. If you live together and share bills, they’ll have the opportunity to save for a deposit? There’s nothing wrong with renting or asking them to contribute to your household costs if they live with you.
