In November 2016, Natalie & Adrian purchased a home for £500,000. However, only Natalie was registered as a proprietor. They each contributed £250,000 to purchase the property

In September 2022, Adrian travelled to San Francisco for a 3-year assignment related to his work. Before leaving, Adrian & Natalie agreed that Natalie was to be responsible for any decision taken regarding the upkeep and management of the property. In October 2022, while Adrian was away, the property suffered a substantial roof leak. To pay for the roof replacement and substantial repairs to the property Natalie secured a loan of £200,000 from Leland Bank, secured against their home. The surveyor sent round before the loan was granted made no enquiries about any other interest in the property, despite evidence of cohabitation.

Natalie made all the repayments on the loan. Unfortunately, Natalie lost her job last year and fell behind on repayments to Leland Bank. 

The value of the property has reduced significantly because of a dip in the housing market, and it is now worth £350,000. The balance on the loan from Leland Bank is £185,000.

In November 2019, Annie and Troy jointly purchased a home for £400,000. They paid half each towards the purchase of the property, but only Annie was registered as a proprietor.

In March 2022, Troy’s parents moved to New Zealand. Annie encouraged Troy to fly out with them and spend a few months with them to help them get settled. In that time, Annie took the opportunity to mortgage the home to Greendale Bank, to raise £300,000 to set up her own business. Before the loan was granted, Greendale Bank sent round a surveyor. Annie made some effort to tidy away Troy’s personal effects but there was an outbuilding in the garden with a sign on it saying “Annie and Troy’s gym”. The surveyor made no enquiries about this and the loan was subsequently granted.

On his return, Troy was upset with Annie’s decision to mortgage the home but he supported her business and, through payment to their joint account, he contributed half to the repayments of the loan. Unfortunately, in July 2024 Annie’s business started to struggle, and they began failing to make repayments to Greendale Bank in September 2024. 

The property is now worth £500,000. The balance on the loan from Greendale Bank is £270,000.
