Money, money, money

What would you do? Your mum gave you £15k to help buy a property for you, your partner and baby but the sale fell through. She said keep it until you find somewhere else. Your partner (not married but you are in a good relationship and not living together yet) says "give the £15k to me and I'll use it to buy my flat then you can move in with me" (he currently rents and when he buys it will be in his name) Would you give it to him?

No no no no no, girl do not do this. The house money your mum gave you is yours and your baby’s stability and future don’t do it. Get your own place with your name on the deeds Xx

No, I would say to buy his flat together so that it's in both of your names, or just your name if he isn't putting any money into it!.. Me and my partner (not married) we also did a declaration of trust when we bought our house. So if we break up we both get our deposits back and then we split whatever is left!

Hard NO

No!!!!!!!

Absolutely not! If the flat would be bought as a home in your name as well, maybe, but do not give your money to him and not have your name on any deeds and contracts- then worst case scenario and your relationship ends, you have no money and no claim to stay/keep/sell and recoup any money from the home you live in.

Absolutely not!

No. Buy that property yourself if you want it. 😱

Absolutely not. My parents gave me some money when I was buying my house with my boyfriend and we have it written in to our contract that if we split up I get the extra lump my parents gave me back and then split the rest. No way does he deserve to have access to that much money your mum has worked hard for. If you were to break up you’d be left with nothing, no money to rent or buy your own place for you and baby!

No. Needs to be in both of your names at the very least.

Nope!

No way and I’m married 🤣🤣🤣

No don’t do that

Definite no. And I agree with all of the above comments. Your mum gave you the money for a new property together so that’s the only thing it should be used for. The money was not for him.

Don’t do that as your not married . Ensure that the house is in both your names

No. Keep it and find somewhere for you all. My dad left me money in his will and I used it to put down for a deposit on the house I share with my partner. In the deeds has both of our names but a clause that the deposit belongs to me. That way if me and my partner (not married) were to split that money would be guaranteed to come to me x

Don't ever try

Absolutely not! The fact he has said so he can buy his flat, and for it to be in his name. Girl absolutely not. Please please please do not do this! & when you do find a house make sure it’s under your name as the deposit will be from the money your mum has given you, unless he will have money to contribute to a deposit & do not let him guilt trip you into it

I am a property solicitor if you need advice dm me but do not give the £15k unless there is protection in place for you. Happy to discuss it with you

Hell no

NO!!!! Please please please don't be pressured into doing this

Thank you all. I was leaning towards "no" but wanted to make sure I wasn't being selfish or missing something!

No way! Buy your own place and let him move in with you. Be smart

Noooooooooo

Absolutely not.

Hell no, unless he puts the flat in your name 🙃

NO WAY

Common sense, no.

Nope x

Definitely not

No wayyyyyyy!!!!!!
