After five years of legal rangle trying to get my ex girlfriend (not even married) off our joint mortgage, and some £16K+ in handouts both to her, the financing costs and to the solicitors for the transfer of equity, I have at last had her removed from the deeds this week. She never paid in anything, mortgage, deposit, bills etc, and she only lived here for two weeks, but I was lucky that I didn't have to stump up the extra £12k in additional costs that two firms of solicitors said it could cost to decide who gets what. If this had happened they would take the £12k bill, half it and add £6k to my already colosal re-mortgage. The only reason that she didn't instigate this was that it is not covered by legal aid. Thank God for that ruling.
