Houseless with three kids.

[Zippydedoo]

We have split up. We have 3 small boys. My Ex fiance owns the house outright. I have nothing of any value really. I have put my career on hold to support him, I have toiled away helping to renovate the house. I have spent any spare cash I had on and in the house and on the kids. I have no savings. I work. We were about to get married and he has cancelled the wedding. I know I'm not entitled to anything, he has offered that I stay in the home while I sort myself out, along as I can pay the bills or give him enough money to rent a place for him. He is eventually going to sell the house and have a new start. We have been together for a very long time.
I am angry at myself and I am sad but I need to get practical. Where do I start? I have spoken to the council but we have no council housing stock in our ward- it was sold off.

Sorry ,not clear ,£40,000 was from sale of his house

Ok, thank you all for the advice. I am going to get legal advice asap and I applied for the housing register today after thinking I couldn't, so I feel like I'm making a little bit of progress.

Get advice about what you and dc might be entitled to but don’t feel you have to stay local. Emotional and practical support are just as important. My family help me out with dc so I can work or when I’m ill. He doesn’t really get a say where you go when he’s making you homeless. You can get a job anywhere. You can also apply for unpaid parental leave if you need to take some time out. Run some work scenarios through benefit calculator you may find you won’t be that much worse off if you work less to give yourself a breather. Speak to solicitor about options but also speak to family and friends you may be surprised by the help offered. Then weigh it all up and do what is going to make it easiest to get your life on track. If he has family money then it’s likely your dc are beneficiaries of any trusts etc Sometimes grandparents step up especially if they think they will lose touch with their grandchildren.

MN hates landlords, but my DS buys challenging properties, renovates them to a good standard and rents them to families at a reasonable rent. He looks after the properties really well and fixes problems quickly. He is a really good landlord. Not everyone can cope with managing a property.
Councils are amongst the worst landlords in the UK.
OP I am so sorry that you are in this situation. I agree with others that you should stay put for now. Your ex should be ashamed.

That was in response to the posts about housing btw.
