property

[jaycee401]

my ex transfered the property to me 18 months ago. he is now trying to put a restriction on me selling which is with the tribunal at the land registry, as he says he wants some equity, at the time of transfer he did not want anything. what do you think his chances are.

If he can prove that he contributed towards the purchase price or mortgage payments, I would say that his chances of getting some equity are quite high

How about if you thought it was a gift? If it was a gift then he can nor take it back.

When he transfered the property which was originally in his name only, he agreed to sell it me for the price of his mortgage. On completion I paid his mortgage off and he received and cashed a cheque for some monies left over from my solicitor (he chose not to use a solicitor). My solicitor and building society have a letter from him stating that he was selling it me for a certain price. Now I have got on with life life (18 month later) he is now saying he wants some more money and is trying to put a restriction on the property, which is with the land registry at the moment.

On what you have reported in your answer it seems that he entered into a sale of the property to you at an agrred price. Unless he can make out a claim that this transaction did not reflect the whole story then he is out on a limb.

Thanks for your answers. He is now saying thru his solicitors (which has now gone to the LR) that he did not sign the letter saying he was selling it me, and that I have fraudulently got the letter signed (either me or somebody else). This is utter rubbish as it is 200%+ his signature, his sol is saying that if i deny the fraud then they will get an expert to check the signature. Thats fine and dandy by me. If he lies in court and says there that it is not his signature and when it is proved it is what would the outcome likely to be?
