Estoppel Question Advise Needed

[Tiger7861]

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 ?

Do you have £13k?

[Barmaid]

lol, a High COurt trial for £13k. I dont think so......

Still if solicitor has fixed the fee at that, it's a bargain.

[Tiger7861]

County court trial

[Barmaid]

Really? OK, fine.

£13k for a County Court trial is cheap - something of this level anyway. BUt what do I know, it being my specialism and all that......

[Tiger7861]

13 k meaning expenses

[Tiger7861]

If I win the other side will compensate me big time

[Tiger7861]

Yes I have 13k the solicitor said if you loose you will need have to compensate the other side as you will have no money so you,having nothing to loose apart from 13k

[Barmaid]

As I said, if you've got a solicitor who can do this stuff that quickly and who works on a Saturday, I've no idea why you are asking unqualified people on here.

[Peter Pedant]

because she knows the Law is a lottery ?

[Tiger7861]

He emailed me last night bar maid with costs etc

[sherrardk]

So all last night and for most of the day you havebednposting but didn't think to mention the email from your solicitor?

[boxtops]

"you,having nothing to loose apart from 13k"

£13K's a small fortune to most of us - how can you afford to lose that much?

[Tiger7861]

I haven't posted that mAny today

[sherrardk]

You still posted without giving the extra information that you had.

[Tiger7861]

Sorry abt that then I'm really confused just need a way to stay here

[bednobs]

offer to buy it from them then

[Tiger7861]

No can't afford it but the court might give me a share

[bednobs]

if you can afford court costs, why can't you afford a mortgage?

[woofgang]
