Meglet Oct 2017 10:04pm, 25 Oct 2017 18,596 posts	0 Meglet Trying to pin some dates down. The chain (inc me) wants 3rd Nov but the solicitors are still quibbling over a couple of very minor things and my ex has to sort out some financial details. So we are unlikely to exchange this week. Now hoping for 9th Nov. And that ex comes good with his financials-that bit is looking quite hairy
Meglet Nov 2017 3:49pm, 1 Nov 2017 18,622 posts	0 Meglet Finally exchanged today and will complete on 9th. XH has denied ever saying there might be an issue with his financials and assures me it will all be ok. Excited but also scared, there's so much to organise!

Red Squirrel Nov 2017 4:09pm, 1 Nov 2017 20,409 posts	0 Red Squirrel Well done Meglet. I just emailed my solicitors as not heard anything about t'other party signing their contract and what exchange date we're working towards. As soon as poss, I said.
Meglet Nov 2017 4:56pm, 1 Nov 2017 18,623 posts	0 Meglet HOD, I think that's the norm, but it may depend if one of you has more of a claim, or there are other finances to take account of. I was clear when we separated (5y ago) that we should share costs of house until we sold as I wanted to be sure I got 50% (I've carried on living there) We've a business property jointly owned which we still need to sort out, we couldn't tie it in with the house sale.
Nelly Nov 2017 5:17pm, 1 Nov 2017 3,792 posts	0 Nelly HOD - certainly not "always" 50/50, and I'd suggest it's not even "the norm" where there are children involved (and their time won't be split 50/50 between parties) and/or there is a significant difference in the "earning potential" of both parties.
Hills of Death (HOD) Nov 2017 5:30pm, 1 Nov 2017 33,775 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) Well I earn more and am still paying the mortgage so certainly won't be paying for something I have no share in !
Red Squirrel Nov 2017 9:14am, 2 Nov 2017 20,411 posts	0 Red Squirrel Did I post this before? They've kept bringing it down in price, so now it's pretty cheap for the area but vulnerable to being broken in possibly. Check out the patio doors to "garden" pic. Just for a laugh, I'm not thinking of buying it. zoopla.co.uk
Meglet Nov 2017 11:14am, 2 Nov 2017 18,628 posts	0 Meglet Oh that 'garden' is hilarious! It really shows how wide angle photos give an illusion, the fitting room looks big until you see it from all the other angles. They'd be better leaving out that last photo.
