i have recently split up with my partner. We have a joint mortgage. Firstly, he decided on buying me out, then had the locks changed, refusing me entry into the house and saying i can collect my things from storage instead. He has now decided on selling the property. Where do i stand in this? I would like the money but would also like to get my belongings back, clean and undamaged!

I assume you are a joint owner - i.e. your name is on the title deeds. If so, you have just as much right as your ex-partner to have access to the house (or to live there if you wish). He has no right to deny you access (or to remove your belongings) without a Court order - which he would be most unlikely to get. If you can't get him to act responsibly on this, you may need to have a solicitor to advise you and initiate whatever action is needed.

Also, he cannot sell the house without your agreement and your signature.
To reinforce what themas has said, he has no power to keep you out of the house. Go to the police.
