    Hi There,
    I seem to be in a slightly different situation than most posters on here and hope I'm not cross referencing in the wrong place.
    I have to pay off my ex partner from our house after splitting up, the mortgage is in joint names but the deeds are in mine, he has put money into the build but it was all cash, the deal was if we split up he gets back what money he put into the house not half what its' worth. He estimates he put 70000 odd into it, but also took about 20000 out which he is not admitting to (is a cumplusive gambler) After being split up for a year I have managed to gather 50000 to pay him off, as cant get it on the mortgage and also mortgage company will not take his name off the house, so this was gathered by beg, borrow and steal (not steal literally). I do not want to sell the house as it is on my familys land and if we did manage to seel the house he would only come out with approx 40000, providing you got a price that is not really realistic in these times. So basically a normal person would accept my offer,sign off his interest in the property, draw a line under this and get on with their lives, however he is refusing as he doesnt think it's enough and says he will hold out till the property market improves (dreamer!!)
    My question is can I force him to either except my offer or just sign over interest without payment...I do agree he is owed money and I have it there to give him but he is just being awkward at this stage. He has no proof of any money given towards the building of the house or towards the paying the mortgage for that matter as it was all cash he used and everything went through my bank account as he was gambling, we lived in the house for 2 years with me looking after all bills, but he basically built the house looking after all the contractors etc...and now thinks he should be paid for his hard work...just wanted to see what are my options or if anyone had similar experience...I am waiting to get talking to my solicitor at the moment too, thanks

    You'll need a solicitor. No legal advice here. Please read forum charters before posting.
