Dd, boyfriend and flat purchase

102 replies

Dd has been renting with her boyfriend. She has told me they have discussed getting engaged next year. Out of the blue he was bought a beautiful flat in London by his family, and wants dd to move there with him. She would be paying rent for a finite period of time to cover certain costs.

My AIBU is that I feel if they plan to get engaged shortly, surely they should be buying together? We would have helped with a small deposit and dd earns as much as he does, if not more. I’m delighted for her boyfriend who I love, but also want DD to get onto the property ladder.

Dd isn’t worried it’s more me.. seems fair enough till they have kids together but after that what’s fair? I was screwed over in my divorce with two small kids so maybe I’m overthinking.

I have a relative who is in the same position although they don't pay rent. They are saving the rent they would have paid as a deposit and will get a BTL, maybe you daughter could do that when she stops paying rent.

Yes that would definitely be an option.
