Another poster advised you to do this two years ago! Are you sure that you'll do it this time?I will most certainly contact MABS and arrange a meeting with them.
Actively doing something practical to sort out your situation might yield better results.I just pray for a better future and please God things will get easier in time and improve...
I still want to wish you all the best with this.
Renting a room is not an option at the moment. The 'spare room' is not furnished. I just don't have the extra cash at the moment to do it up.
Can I just stress that I'm not looking for sympathy from anyone.
I am merely looking for opinions / advice of those who possibly have been there before
Bronte, I have already posted myself that 'yes, I know I didn't take on board the advise given by some at the time' and without sounding a little rude, I don't need it pointed out to me again. However I do thank you for the advise given on your post.
There are a lot of complications.
Can anyone advise on the following:
If I was to sell my house, I would obviously need to be 're-homed' by the council as I will not qualify for another mortgage on my own, based on my salary. Are there any cases that people know of that the council will actually 'help' you to stay in your home?? I'm not in a town, I'm in house about 7mins drive from town. Is there any options there?
Were you married?
You mentioned that your partner had two sites on which he was to try to obtain planning- what is the current situation with that? Does he have any other assets?
Is the house the only property in your joint names?
Originally your partners father contributed the deposit- was this meant to be a gift? OR was it to be repaid- or was there any agreement in relation to it?
How much maintenance is currently being paid?
Have you spoken to your partner about his intentions as regards the house and future maintenance for his child if he leaves the country?
Too many details may make you more identifiable so if you do not feel comfortable putting too much information out there then I suggest you do make an appointment to see a solicitor. The Legal Aid Board may take on your case- you will need to apply to them and there can be a backlog so the sooner you do this the better. Otherwise a private solicitor but you will have to pay. In the long run it would probably be worth while going to a private solicitor at least for an initial consultation because if your partner does not put in place arrrangments for maintenance / the house before he leaves the country it will be impossible after.
Let us know how you get on with them.Just to mention I did phone MABS yesterday evening. They are sending me out a Pack but also I will be calling into their local office to have a meeting with one of the financial advisors.
Let us know how you get on with them.
