Transfer of Equity

[BOYLAN123]

My ex and I split 9 months ago and he left the property that we bought jointly 2 and a half years ago (although I paid all of the deposit etc). His solicitor wrote to me to say that my ex was prepared to transfer his share in the property to me and that he did not want any money. He stopped paying the mortgage 7 months ago. He signed the Transfer of Equity document but his witness signed it in the wrong place so our mortgage lenders would not accept it. My ex then wrote to my solicitor to say that he was no longer in a position to release his share and he wanted �10k. There was no way I could afford this so I offered him �5k which he accepted, albeit verbally. My solicitor has asked him to come in to sign the new document but he does not respond to her letters or phonecalls. On a side note, he is blaming me for the fact that he is struggling to hold down a job because the Criminal Records Bureau have recorded details of his arrests when he was physically violent towards me and when he resisted arrest. I never pressed any charges but because he works in the health sector, they have put it all on the disclosure. He's now spiting me for this I think! Can he be forced to sign the Transfer of Equity? By a Judge? Also, he has taken on a new mortgage and one of the conditions of that was that he had to come off any existing mortgage within a 3 month period, which has now passed. Is this fraud i.e. the fact that he has not adhered to his new mortgage conditions?
