What would you do in covid ?

[saleena2020]

Hi All,

Little advise needed, is it a wise decision to purchase a house during lockdown, whilst divorce is ongoing , waiting for decree absolute?

DH has no contributions at all.

I took a free advice from a solicitor and according to them I would need a clean break order which will secure me incase if there's a future claim by DH.

I am not in a position to ask him for a clean break order and cannot disclose that I am purchasing a house , he doesn't know. If I do he has nothing to disclose apart from his pension which I don't want and we have already agreed his is his mine is mine.

Please pour in your suggestions it would help me alot I just dont know who to speak to , what to do , if I don't go ahead with the house, mortgage is going to expire soon and it won't be extended as per the bank due to covid crisis and banks usually require 40% deposit and it would be a whole new application.

Thanks for reading x

Op i think you need to tell him and get him to sign something it's to risky not to

it doesn't sound like the process my friend is going thru with her divorce, OP. I don't understand how you can buy a house at all right now -- have you put in an offer having viewed & all the conveyancing is done?

When does the mortgage offer expire?
