DB, his partner “Jane” & her 2 kids have been staying with me - in my house - after the house they were buying fell through. They had been looking at other properties to buy but have since decided to end their relationship so that’s no longer happening.

Yesterday while my DB and I were out and unbeknownst to me, Jane had an estate agent over to value my house & as he was leaving he told her he’d send her an email with the valuation & they were talking about viewings etc.

Today Jane asked me to give her a letter stating that my brother is living here but wouldn’t tell me why she wanted it & was really unhappy when I said I’d give her a letter saying they were both temporarily staying with me as that’s the actual truth.

What on earth could she be up to? I’m honestly baffled!

Should I tell her that I know about the valuation? Should I tell my DB about all of this?

On one hand I don’t want to get involved in their troubles or make things worse (things are bad enough between them already) but on the other hand I feel I’m being drawn into it as it’s my bloody house she had valued!

She's snooping for assets and money so she can take the kids and go for child maintenance.

By valuing your house it will be seen as am asset, by signing a letter stating your brother is there will give her leverage to tell CM that hubby is living in a mortgaged house, it's value, how much you pay etc. I think she is hoping child maintenance will then go to you for extra money. However! That only works if you're a significant other. It's all very convoluted and what she is doing is a breach of GDPR by getting that evaluation done, and possibly looking to commit fraud.

She just had your house evaluated and would have needed to falsify information to do so.

You need to sit her down, ask her why, then kick her out.

They aren't married. They don't have children together, and the OP doesn't have a mortgage

@MustWeDoThis did you read any of the OPs posts? And please explain how this is a breach of GDPR?

@Rosscameasdoody The police would be concerned a jury, if it came to that, might think that Jane's story introduced a reasonable doubt. It wouldnt be reasonable doubt for me.

The kids are not OP’s brothers’ children. Even if they were, the house doesn’t belong to him so cannot be viewed by CMS or anyone else as an asset. And all OP would have to do is verify that his living arrangement is temporary until he is adequately housed.
