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...

Tyg: R u asking how much of my personal money I put in
No, Tiger we know - you put nothing in
the 15k was your husband's as you said.
in your original post you said: but we have spent money on the property over 10 years about 15k
but you havent - he has.
you tried a punt on half his money is mine by reason of marriage
but it isnt.
OK how much money did you put into the house ?

I think the most you could get if you have put in 5k over 15 y
is no more than £ 5k and no security of tenure
and in order to get this you are being asked to put up front £ 13 k
Like Sherr' I think that is an obvious good deal and you should go for it
like Sherr' yaaaay !
You should tell your lawyer that your contribution was £5k - I know he doesnt know. and he'll probably say ... yaaay as well ! ( and ask for a cheque for £13k up front)
Tiger it is obvious that you are onto an absolute gold mine - go baby go !

no! you will not get a free house for £5k. even if it were yours. when are we going to get through to you that your lawyer is taking you for a ride (ask him if he'll do a no win no fee and see how quickly he tells you to bugger off) and you have no chance. oh.....and you really need to start appreciating how generous your in laws are and actually stand on your own two feet.
That is completely irrelevant, Tiger, don't think for a minute it matters whose account it went into.
The facts are
You have lived for 15 years as a non-paying tenant in a house belonging to your ex-in-laws, because they didn't want to take rent from you. IT'S STILL THEIR HOUSE NOT YOURS.
You split with your husband, they want their house back.
Your witness to this alleged verbal promise is a relative of yours, you already said that, so the witness evidence won't hold water as you are related.
The "promise" was to you and your husband, not to you on your own - and they want you out.
If anything, the disadvantage is your in-laws, because of all the rent they could have had over the years if they had had paying tenants in the house - they have lost out financially, big time.
As I said ages and ages ago, what you and/or your husband paid for work to the house is IRRELEVANT - we all do that, it's not a credit note for future ownership, otherwise I'd be owning several rented flats by now where I lived in the past.
You and yoru husband were foolish in the extreme not to get the promise in writing. You have NO CASE, as others have told you many times. Why give me best answer if you don't believe you are heading for financial ruin if you take this any further. Think of your children's welfare, not your own selfish gain to stay in the house. Go to the housing department, tell them you're being evicted, and MOVE OUT.
