Hi All,

I never seen the updates here as I never got an email notification. Thanks all for contributions.

I would have thought that the house deeds and mortgage in my name would mean I am the property owner. I was also thinking that I should charge a very nominal amount of rent to her until such a time that marriage is on the cards. So if there was any disputes etc it would be covered under a simply tenancy agreement.

Would that suffice?

I already pay for the broadband and sky as I really wanted these and they didn't :p. Also I transfer rent to their account on my pay days.

An assumption that has led to many a court case. And good luck with your nominal rent ruse.

I'll have to get proper legal advice from a solicitor if and when the time arises that I have my own place and look at moving her in.
