I emigrated to the UK for Love, brought a Flat for 240K in 2017,When I purchased the flat we had a management company and a report stating that our 35% share of costs was 24K over 10 years.
Unfortunately the freeholder and other tenant didn't like to spend money so not much was done of this.
Just before lockdown the tenant did a runner so just me in the building.
The freeholder eventually sold the freehold and rest of the building to someone new. Unfortunately they began to pull the building apart and look for work hugely increasing my costs and so they offered to buy me out ( they would then own the whole building ) I said I wouldn't want to sell for less than I paid for it eventually all we could get him to offer was 225K and he wanted settlement June 2022,two days before we were getting married so I suggested delaying our wedding.
His finance fell through, settlement then December 2022,finance fell through.
Now he only wants to pay 215 with 200 being up front and 15 sometime in the future, no date suggested.
So my question to you lovely wise mumsnetters is what are my options.
I have now been dumped and will eventually have to go home to Aotearoa to retire as my future here has been decimated.
I was hoping I could remain in my flat and pay the bills when I can which could take a couple of years as I don't earn much, is that possible without getting into trouble.
