My partner and I split 7 months ago and he went abroad for 3 months leaving the house in joint names. He has now returned and kicking up a fuss as I have a new boyfriend. He says he doesn't want the house and is staying with a friend. However he has a history of losing jobs and both of us would prefer that I took over ownership. Me because I'm sick of the "it's my house too, you can't have so and so in it" and him because he can't claim housing benefit while he owns property. I've had a bit of harassment from him but I don't want to go as far as occupancy/non-molestation because he is a good dad. However I can't remortgage in my name only as I don't earn enough even though I've been paying the mortgage on my own for a year. Is there any way I can get the deeds in my name only while he remains on the mortgage. I asked the mortgage company who told me to speak to a solicitor and the solicitor said ask the mortgage company if they will agree???!!!
