Hi I purchased a property in early 2006 for my son to live in - no remt nor mortgage was charged to my son. I then had the deeds changed to my son's name. He then met a young lady in late 2006 and moved in and subsequently they married in 2013. Sadly in Jan 2016 they split up. During the whole time she lived there no rent or monies were paid towards the property. I was wondering if I could now place a charge on the property so as to retrieve the purchase price if she decides to go down the route of 50/50 split on divorce.
sadly, no, you cannot put a charge on unless there is a chargeable debt of some kind. Eg you can get a charge added if she actually owed you money. Not much you can do I'm afraid.
