property equity

Ex partner transfered his property into my sole name. I have a letter from him saying how much he was selling me property for. After 12 months he is now trying to put a charge on property saying he has a beneficial interest. At the time of transfer all he wanted was for me to pay off his existing mortgage - which I did. When he bought the property is was on a 100% mtg. We both contributed to the payments and all household bills. During our relationship I paid �30k (divorce settlement) into our joint back account to improve the property. I have receipts for everything. What are his chances of suceeding an interest, thanks.

I don't think he could put a charge on without first getting a CCJ, and you would have the opportunity to contest his claim in Court. However, do you mean he is trying to get a caution registered at the Land Registry?

Whichever it is, I think you may need to see a solicitor if he persists. But it does seem very strange - if you have evidence that he sold you the property for a stated sum, and that you paid that sum, I don't see how he can come back now and want more.

Thanks the. Yes sorry i didnt make it clear, he is trying to register a charge through the LR. I have a letter from him saying how much he was selling it me for - he is now denying this letter saying I forged his signature and if I do not admit it he will have to get a handwriting expert, well thats fine by me as he 100% signed it. I think the reason he is denying signing this letter is because he knows I have rock solid proof of his agreement in selling. Would you agree?

Sorry its called a caution not a charge.
