Estoppel Question Advise Needed

[Tiger7861]

Me and my partner live in my parents house for 15 years now they want me out in the past on numerous occasions they have promised me and my partner the house but nothing on paper
The deeds are in there name and we have never paid any rent or mortgage but we have spent money on the property over 10 years about 15k . Do I have any chance of keeping the house or staying here we have 2 children the solicitor had advised me of estoppel saying that you parents have broken there promise?Additional DetailsI forgot to mention me and my husband are separated know he is saying that no promise was made I have a witness to the promise but we did apply for local housing housing register waiting for a house will that have any significance ?
As the landlords are saying one of the conditions of staying there was that you stay on the hosing register.
In other words we did not reply to our detriment can this act bee taken like this ?

But ppl seem to think I'm wasting my time

Having read this entire thread, I am at a loss to understand where Tambo has drawn her conclusions!

Tiger, I am not a legal beagle but I honestly cannot see that you have a hope in hell and really cannot understand how this was not dealt with when you were going through divorce proceedings.

[Barmaid]

What people on a website forum think is largely irrelevant. With respect, it is clear you have the services of a solicitor. I would suggest you take advice from him or her. Your solicitor will have a much better grasp of the facts.

What I seriously don't understand if this issue was raised at divorced how would things be different

[tamborine]

Let them suffer the legal/court exes until they offer you & kids enuf to purchase another home.

Maybe your ex wants the house to start same with another family; he's needs to learn different imo

[Barmaid]

When you got divorced what did you say on your Form E about the property?

[Tiger7861]

Tambo is that sensible advise?

[Tiger7861]

None form e was submitted

[Barmaid]

So how did you sort out the ancillary relief?

[Tiger7861]

You mean child maintenance direct with them

[Tiger7861]

He has no other financial plus points money house nothing

[tamborine]

Its my opinion, tiger. Our family business run by inlaws tried same with their son after divorce. Ex wife was given 50% of home value to clear off.

[Tiger7861]

These guys are not budging they want the courts to deal with this

[boxtops]

If it had been dealt with before your divorce, as it should have been, then the question of where you live would all have been sorted out, one way or another, when you divided your assets between you. However, this house is neither yours nor your ex-husband's, whether or not this alleged future promise was ever made. How did you divorce if you didn't submit all the paperwork, did you do it yourselves or did you have solicitors acting for each of you? - and if the latter, why didn't you bring up then the question of who would be living in the house in the future?

This is going nowhere as it is - take barmaid's informed and legally-qualified advice, and make sure your own solicitor has all the information. We're an on-line forum, our advice might be good but we can't act for you.

Before you start all this, may I ask again - do you have the £13K to hand, to cover the legal expenses? If not, how would you pay it at the end of the case (particularly, if it goes against you, since you might need that sort of money to help get a new place for you and the children).

[Tiger7861]

So if in the form e at that time I said abt the house what will have the courts had done I Already had the eviction notice then

[Barmaid]

//He has no other financial plus points money house nothing //

Far be it for me to point out the obvious inconsistency here.....

I'm out.

[Tiger7861]

Nothing

[boxtops]

You didn't say that before, Tiger, your earlier posts suggest that the eviction notice is recent..... You need to get your solicitor on the case, you really do.

Just so we know - when were you divorced, when did you get the eviction notice - and again, do you have the money to pay the £13K legal fees?

[boxtops]

..and if barmaid thinks it's a lost cause then I think you should listen to her - before you waste the £13K.

[Tiger7861]

R u saying that I should have said abt this house
