Estoppel Question Advise Needed
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 ?

Exactly, Tiger - you sort it out before you divorce, to prevent all this dirt being dished afterwards. Read what you've pasted: you will lose important rights to make any claims on property or finances. The property doesn't belong to your ex, so you can't claim from him. You haven't divorced your in-laws, they are nothing to do with it. They've been more than...

woof
you are right
I was much slower than others to realise that the money spent £15k
wasnt hers - but someone else's - and so.... here is no detriment and no right resulting from it.
Money was spent and I spent the money
can be two different things
and I was slow on the uptake on that one
still the lawyers cited some interesting cases to read [Cobbe v Yeoman's Row)

As soon as the 'other' side say to the judge and it will be quicker than 289 q and answers in this thread: 'we dont know what she is talking about, the fifteen kay wasnt her money so no right is made and she knows that '
then the gavel comes down (for them)
Getting a judge to believe something which isnt true - look you havent been able to do that here - which we might call 'lying' is a really really high rish activity where all sort of nasty things happen when they find out the truth.
Dont go there ! You're better off doing that to a housing department
and they're open this morning CABs - you can spend your time usefully by going to see them.

This is about the law & 'tied' houses in Scotland, it has help advice & court procedure.

Don't hang about on here any more, Tiger, get down to the CAB this morning. It's pretty clear now that your chances of living rent free in someone else's house are zilch. I've spent money on rented premises to improve them, you don't get anything back in the end - your rent was zero but it's the same situation.
You've been damned lucky to live rent and mortgage free for 15 years - you are now in a completely different situation. Unless you can magic £13,000 out of nowhere to pay the anticipated legal fees to fight your ex-inlaws (and if you can, what effect will owing that sort of money have on you and your kids' lives for the next few years) then stop now - just go and find somewhere else to live.
You can't be told more clearly than that, surely - you are just grasping at straws now, it's such a flimsy story that it might not even get before a judge.
