Any solicitors or financial advisors?

bit of background Info:
my partner and I are splitting up, we have a daughter (4yo) we have a house together (both on the mortgage), when we got the house we signed for 60/40 40% to me if we ever split. I earn about 24k he’s roughly on 66k. I was just wondering if I would be able to get a mortgage myself and If I would also be able to claim the relevant benefits too? Would I still get help towards my mortgage? And what percentage off council tax is it?

could really do with a little bit of advice to get me through this

The best and first thing to do is go see a mortgage adviser to see how much you can borrow.

When you know how much money you have available, you can plan and move forward.

How much equity is in the house and how much would your 40 percent amount to?

You can claim benefits but you won't get housing benefit for a mortgage, only for renting.

people do buy shared equity house, through council and Housing associations

this means you have a smaller mortgage but also rent to pay - I believe benefits will contribute towards the rent part but not the mortgage

council tax as a solo adult over 18 means you can get 25% discount as the only adult living in the property
