My ex-partner and the father of my children and I separated 7 years ago.
I still live in the family home with my children (2, aged 18 and 19)
We were not married and the house is in his name only. This was because I already had my own house/mortgage when we met.
I pay the mortgage (bank transfer to him) each month.
When we were together, he made me (I know!) remortgage my house, because he needed the money for his business.
So I was left with an interest only mortgage. That house is rented out. The original mortgage would have ended next year and I would have owned that house outright.
I want to buy the house I live in from him. He never gives a straight answer.
I know that we weren't married and the house is in his name so the chances are slim.
When we were together, I paid all bills and he paid the mortgage.
I've also updated the house since he left. Decorated throughout (i know that makes no difference). New bathroom, new garden and we will need a new kitchen soon.
I recall reading before that I can put in a claim of interest i think its called.
Can anyone advise please?
