Spoken with a director here and he knows the chief operating officer in our Sydney office.
They have a perm role for the job I do here, in Sydney. He said he would be more than happy to put forward a recommendation and speak to him if I was interested.
CV sent.

How log did you live with the other half in "her" flat? Does she own it? Did you pay your share of mortgage and bills?
Can you see where I'm going here? Positions reversed and the woman was back at her mum's house. These are the questions she'd be getting asked.
You're going precisely nowhere. You don't get a stake in someone else's property just by living there for a bit, otherwise there would be a million lodgers suddenly entitled to a share of property they rent a room in (after all, they are financially contributing).

Common misconception though.

"Similar rules apply if the property is owned by one of you. The property owner is the only one entitled to live there - anyone else can be asked to leave. The owner can also make decisions - such as selling the property - without consulting their partner.
the non-owner contributes financially (eg paying part of the mortgage) to the property on the understanding that this entitles him or her to a share"
Messy and best avoided though....
Although if it was the man that owned it....

If you agree to hand over half your property that's a different matter. However, as your own link clearly states:http://www.lawdonut.co.uk/law/personal-law/divorce...

Many couples believe that moving in together creates a common law marriage, giving you the same rights as if you were married. It does not - the concept of common law marriage has no legal validity in the UK
In reality, moving in together does not give you automatic rights to each other's property, no matter how long you live together.
Cohabitation does not automatically give you rights to the home you share.
The property owner is the only one entitled to live there - anyone else can be asked to leave.
Update - Got my own place sorted Saturday. All the furniture, beds and associated toot needed went in on Sat. Sofa got delivered on Monday.
Its a 2 bed flat with en suite etc and I'm chuffed to bits with it. Not much happened with Australia so I'm going to bed down here for a bit.
Saw the ex on Saturday morning whilst getting my things and was all very amicable. 7 weeks in to my single holiday now

Strange I read this thread as I am about to break it to the mrs that I no longer feel we should be together.
Not looking forward to it but for the best. I kind of envy the fact you had nothing to tie you down. I have a house, thankfully its mine and just mine but I havent the balls to just up and leave
Glad its working out for you

Everyone loves an update...
1 year on. I'm renting a nice new flat, I had some worries over Christmas where a contract ended in December and I had a squeaky bum period over a month as picking up work around that time isn't easy.
Found a new role in Borough, great pay but absolutely shocking work so found another placement in the city where I am now permanent. Quite amusing as it is next door to where I used to work.
Have a new girlfriend, we have been to Spain a few times and Paris. Off to Spain again in 3 weeks with her and Thailand is booked in December with a jaunt to Barbados in March.
Things are going swimmingly although very occasional contact from the ex as her phone bill is in my name which finishes up ironically on my 30th which is soon.
No regrets here.
