Leaving - mortgage worry

[zobo90]

In a nut shell, have been with an abusive partner for 8 years. Fed up of being called fat, ugly, sl*g on a daily basis. Problem is we have a lovely home together, lovely neighbours and I have pumped a lot of money into it. Mortgage is in his name - stupid I know.. although I now have a better job and could afford the mortgage on my own. He could not. Is there any way this could be resolved? I would happily buy him out.

Is it possible to remortgage into my name??

TIA.

Do you have proof that you are paying into the mortgage or any legal documentation that you have a right to the house?

If you don't then you may have a battle on your hands especially as he is abusive and you are the one who is pumping money into it.

I don't think you can remortgage in your name as you are not on the mortgage. You would have to get a new mortgage and buy the house from him.

You need to see a solicitor before he finds out you’re leaving. Get copies of everything.

Are you married? If so you will have some right to the property. Gather all proof that you have contributed towards the mortgage, get a solicitor and consult before you leave. Set everything up so that when you leave him you won't be left homeless and penniless. Good luck

Are you married, the use of the word partner here implies that you are not. This house you are in with him is a house of horrors really because you are being abused by him within it, its no home.

What magoria wrote earlier. Also stop paying money as of now into his property that you are not named on in any way. Its money that you may never see again. You need funds.

I would contact Womens Aid and the Rights of Women organisations. You need to plan your exit from this abusive relationship and they could help you no end.
