Separation

[MandyRosa]

If I have a joint mortgage with my partner and we split up, what rights do each of us have over the property. I assume it is 50/50 as I remember something from when we bought the house. I would like to buy the house from him, do I have to get a mortgage at current market value or is it up to us what we agree between us?

Well assuming it is joint names then both of you own all of it. If you can have a valuation and then agree what he wants to buy him out then all well and good. That would be the best way forward. If you don't agree it can all get a bit difficult.
