well off to court for him to force the sale of the house

[Happylander]

Well my ex has been threatening to do this and I have finally had a solicitors letter stating that I have 28 days to reply to say that I can get mortgage in my own name (I can't) or that I have found someone to come on the mortgage with me (I haven't) or that I have put the house up for sale (no I haven't).

He does not pay anything towards it, did not contribute any deposit and has left me with debts. His sole reason for forcing this sale is because he does not want his name on it. I don't want him on it. He is nightmare with money but I can't do anything about it right now and I don't want to sell this house it used to be my Nan's.

The best part though is his solicitor tells me I have to pay him rent because 'you continue to live in the property to his exclusion' he left this house to go be with OW!!!

Can I seriously be expected to pay him rent?? Is he going to win??

I have been crying all day about this.

Well he is a little update. I had a text from ex saying 'Ow and I have spoken and decided that we will not to you to court and that I will leave my name on until you get compensation blah blah' He must have spoken to his solicitor who I have put in the picture with emails and spoken to her on the phone.

He expected me to thank him.....erm I think not!

Karma, karma, karma.

Arrogant twunt.

Would it be worth getting him off the deeds and off the mortgage whilst there is still zero equity in the house? If it goes up in value then he may be entitled to something in the future????

I'm just thinking a clean break from him financially asap may be a good thing?

Well I sent my friend the text he sent me and was hoping he would say that he was happy to still try and get him off but he didn't and I did not want to ask. I should be able to get him off by next year and I have it in writing that he wants nothing from the house.

I know it did make me smile and think HA HA HA your solicitor has told you to back off now she knows the truth.

I am seriously beginning to think he has a personality disorder though as his behaviour and expectations are warped to say the least!

Worth writing to his solicitor, to confirm the points and request in writing assurances that he will not request rent in lieu and to come of the mortgage again urgently etc etc

You know and make sure the solicitor has all the facts in writing

Excellent, definitely put your understanding of his latest position in writing to his solicitor.
