We are, but only because I'm waiting to see if he wants me to come pick him up in the FREEDOM mobile!
That's it, gives him a dose of American excess.
Gah.
So I've had to agree to giver her 20% of the equity. Not very impressed, but it would cost me that minimum to fight it in court. Still at least I should have a nice chunk of change left over.
I guess it's better than 50%. Do you reckon that the 30% covers most of the value you added since she left?
I've added *all* the value since she left. When she left, there was an outstanding mortgage of £155k and an estimated value of the flat of £145k. Yay buying right before the credit crunch!
Remind me not to tell Ben that when we sold our house it was close to the peak and had doubled in value. That's our little secret, remember, DON'T TELL BENNY!
Also don't tell him that our house has apparently appreciated in price by almost 30%, we only had the offer accepted in November last year... we did spend close to 40% of the 30% increase on STUFF (renovations etc), just hope property prices don't collapse again. SHHHH!!!!
(I feel like that silly lady in the SecretEscapes ad)
that's essentially meaningless unless you're about to sell it though. Or maybe to remortgage. If Truffy was able to buy his next house on the other side of the peak when things are cheaper, then it's a win. If everything's going up, then your next house just went up as well so it makes no useful difference. Innit!
Stop it with your logic and witchcraft!
Killjoy... I'm well aware of all that, but at least I'm not being a fun-sponge!
