I have been living with my girlfriend in a house for 2 years with �300k original cost. I put �60k deposit down with her contributing �0. I have also paid 70% of all mortgage repayments, she paid the remaining 30%. We have now split up and are going to sell the house for �360k. How will the capital gain be split if we are unable to agree this between ourselves?
Thanks for any assistance!

If the mortgage and deeds are in joint names then on the face or it it is a 50/50 split.

Unless you had a written agreement to the contrary.

However, a solicitor may be able to advise on how you can prove your % should be higher.
