Caution placed on property

[hevansabove]

My current partner is looking to re-mortgage his property and has just been informed his ex girlfriend placed a caution on it some years ago. Although they lived together for many years they were never married. The property is solely in his name as are all the utility bills etc., which were paid by dd from his sole bank account. We cannot understand what claim she has on the house and how she did this without him knowing

Scroll to 'Owner - occupiers' from this link which will show the claim she probably has on the house: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/family_par ent/family/cohabitation_and_marriage_legal_dif ferences.htm#Housing.

The 'caution' will be registered with the Land Registry.

Hope this helps!
