My husband and I seperated in August 2004. We had a marital home which was finally sold in April 2005 and after the mortgage was cleared we split the funds 50/50 which was done by the solictior overseeing the sale. I bought a house on my own in July 2005 with the proceeds of the house sale. I am not yet divorced from my husband, but a friend at work commented recently that she thinks I should get divorced as she believes my husband could be entitled to claim half of my new house? Does anyone know if this is true?

No he has no right to your new property unless you snuff it without making a will.
He has no claim, the house is all yours!
If you become divorced then the divorce court can make such orders (property adjustment orders or lump sum orders) about your, and your husband's assets as are fair in all the circumstances. It may be that there are circumstances in which he could claim a capital payment from you.
