I am recently separated, stbxh lives in our old house as he owned it prior to us separating. My name isn't on the deeds but solicitor has advised I'll likely get a majority stake and he'll have to sell pending a financial agreement being confirmed.
My current living situation isn't ideal and I'd rather buy than rent as prices are so high.
I'm wondering if co ownership would be a good option for me. I have a couple of grand in savings that would get me over the door but I wanted to know if I'd even qualify and if I can pay the co ownership element off early when the money from the sale of the other house comes through?
Does anyone have advice on how this works or if its even an option?
