Tenants In Common law ?

Tenants In Common law ?

"Alan"	3/29/2006 9:39:51 AM
I seperated from my ex-partner in November 2000 and she has since been living in the house which we bought together as tenants in common in 1995. She is now living there with her three sons, the youngest two being 17 years and 20 years, both still as far as I'm aware in full-time education. Would it be possible for me to 'force a sale' of the property to release my name from the mortgage and also would I be entitled to a share of the equity ? thanks for any advice.

Very probably but you need to get detailed advice from a solicitor who has seen all the paperwork etc. Peter Crosland

I am now on my third solicitor and none of them have been able to give me any 'detailed advice'. the whole 'tenants in common' law seems to be very vague. I have now spent over =A31500 at solicitors and got nowhere, and still do not know if I would have a chance if i tried going to court to force a sale. my ex partner just keeps saying she may do something when the children have finished their education or she just ignores the solicitors letters completely.

Why on earth did you pay them if the could not give you advice? Any solicitor should be able to sort it out. It suggests there must be some other problem that you have not mentioned. Many solicitors give an initial half-hour interview free. Look in the yellow pages and phone around. You should be able to force the sale and get the mortgage paid off and take your share.

You should be entitled to a share of the equity based on what each of you contributed to the purchase price. What you need is a competent solicitor who understands this area of law. Given that you have already spent good money without getting a clear answer, can you quote what advice your last solicitor gave to you and why he thought there was a problem?

all that as happened with previous solicitors is letters have been sent and she wouldn't agree to have my name taken off the mortgage until the children had left full time education. i have been told by my solicitors that there is no way that i would be able to force her to sell the house while there are children in education still living there.
