We are a year down the line and are in the middle of selling our family home. I have been viewing houses for some time and it is just so expensive out there with a lot of houses too small or big enough but then hit by higher costs and stamp duty..
My ex and I get on very well still we have two boys and he has suggested I stay and we carry on with a joint mortgage while the boys are at the local school and re assess when they move in 2 years time…. He would rent somewhere if I could contribute more.
So now I am thinking is this the best thing to do right now while house prices are crazy and we have a low mortgage and a bigger house for the boys here? I could change things around and redecorate and he has his own space else where?
Had anyone done this and it worked? If so how did you set boundaries as it will technically still be his house too but I would want it to be that in more of a ‘business’ sense.
Sorry for the long post!
