Hi All,
I'd be grateful if someone could offer me advice on my current situation.
I bought a house (50/50) with my then fiancée 2.5 years ago. We went on to split and I moved out about 16 months ago. I've continued to pay between 70-80% of the mortgage since I left.
I've agreed to let her buy me out but she is unable to get the mortgage. I've offered to buy her out with a 'pay off' about 50% more than she would get if the house was sold on the open market currently. She agreed (not in writing obviously or I wouldn't be posting here!) but then changed her mind when she found out the amount a bank would be prepared to lend her to buy another property.
She's now decided that she's staying indefinitely! I'm moving abroad for 2 years in a couple of months and want to get this situation resolved asap. Is there any legal avenue available to me to "force" to sell the property?
Thanks for any comments/advice/suggestions!
