Posted on: 13th Jul, 2009 10:07 am
5 years ago my partner left leaving myself with our 2 sons.3 years ago he stopped paying anything towards the mortgage,which i continued to pay on time every month.He now wants us out of the house and says he will tell the building society (Nationwide) that he does not lived there and has not himself not contributed towards the mortgage for 3 years.Can the building society make me sell our home.I struggle to get by but on paper it seems i cannot afford the mortgage.Please help i am getting extremely worried about the situation.

To foggy,

Are you on the deed to the property? Did you sign on the loan with your partner? If you are on the deed, you have a right to the property. Your partner cannot force you to sell the house. If you are neither on the deed nor on the loan, you have little right to the house. However, as long as you keep making the payments on time, Nationwide is unlikely to force you to sell the house.

Thats correct

As logn as you can keep making payment the bank may not force you to sell the house. They know the how the current market is doing.

If your ex's name is also on the mortgage, just watch out for any wrong information he might be giving to the bank.

Good luck

what your former partner says to the lender is not relevant to much of anything. you're paying the mortgage, and that's basically what they want to know. he's toying with you, which is foolish and a waste of everyone's time. stand your ground.
