STBXH and I separated last year and just been granted the Nisi. I'm now looking at getting the financial agreement sorted. No children. He has been living with a friend since separation and I am still in the marital home. House is currently on the market. We are joint tenants. Since we purchased, I put an additional 40k of inheritance money from a grandparent into renovations which improved the value of the home.
We are relatively amicable. A few months ago we had a chat about onward plans. He said his parents will be giving him money towards a deposit for somewhere new. Apparently this is an advance on future inheritance. The equity we each have from the house is good but he wants to move to a more expensive area. I am staying in the same area and can afford to do that with my mortgage potential and equity. I don't have any family that could help me financially if I needed this.
My question is should I be asking for a greater share of the equity. Not much, like 5-10% more because he is receiving this inheritance advance to help him purchase his next property and I don't? He could afford somewhere in our current area but is choosing to move somewhere more expensive. Looking at properties in his chosen area, I imagine where he is buying will be larger than what I can afford. We both have equal salaries, savings and pensions and have agreed to keep these as our own.
Appreciate any advice
