I reckon there will be some tax reason for it only being in his name. Don’t know what though!!
True.... once you are married it doesn't matter anywy as it becomes 50/50 unless she signed a pre-nupI doubt her earnings are that low. She avoids paying a lot of tax by going through a limited company. He probably feels safer putting it in his name. Less messy in case things don't work out.
Maybe they're just not bothered about marriage. It's not compulsory.I do find it odd that they’ve been together 5 years and they aren’t engaged yet. It’s not like they can’t afford it and that’s often what stops people. I was going to say that it’s odd when they’ve bought a house together but they haven’t! Very strange.
This is true!Maybe they're just not bothered about marriage. It's not compulsory.
Yeah I agree I think he clearly can afford it on his own. I just think it’s a bit weird for an unmarried couple to get a house together and not even have both your names on the deeds just seems very non comital. You can enter into a deed of trust to protect what you put in so even if she put in 10% his 90% would be protected. Just doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you’d do when you’re in a committed relationship! It’s all a moot point if they get married though so will be interesting to see if they do...I think he sold his apartment after they already bought this one... so not sure he needed the money for deposit to be honest
I also wonder why it is all in his name.. is it because her earnings are as low as possible for tax purposes (ie her company accounts make all the money and then as a director you pay yourself a low salary or dividends from the company so you do not have to pay as much tax)... this might have made it hard for her to get a mortgage... or perhaps you are right about Ant not wanting to buy somewhere with her as not fully committed to future of the relationship...
it is strange because she acts as if it is her house too....
imagine if they broke up and he was left with his house looking like a hotel that JoJo basically designed...
I also know people who are forex traders and make £800k a year... so I really don't think he needed her on the mortgage...
Maybe he wanted to buy alone as he makes tonnes more than her and doesn't need her help with the property - she can invest her money into stay wild swim kickers and towels
I’ve been with my partner nearly 7 years, friends over 10 and none of us are engaged. It’s just not a big deal for any of us, we’ve got houses, kids, dogs together (although Zambia has none of those things it would appear) but I’d have expected a big engagement announcement from her by nowI do find it odd that they’ve been together 5 years and they aren’t engaged yet. It’s not like they can’t afford it and that’s often what stops people. I was going to say that it’s odd when they’ve bought a house together but they haven’t! Very strange.
I think it's more how she made a big deal out of it being 'ours' when it's not.I also. don't think her not being on the house is a big deal. I've been with my partner for 8 years, he just bought our first place that's an investment place we're currently living in until covid dies down and people can travel. I'm not on the title so that I'm still eligible for first time buyers discount. Wouldn't surprise me if Ant & Zanna are doing the same thing
Which makes me think shes hasnt put in anything financiallyI think it's more how she made a big deal out of it being 'ours' when it's not.
someone said she was going to do some thing on finances so maybe she would eleborate on here experiences and why they made certain decisions.
call me old fashioned but if I put in financially I'd want my name on everything legally and I did!
No, I think that's why Any has been so stressed because he's dealing with everythingdo we think she’s contributing
to or paying for this decorating?!
No I know marriage isn’t for everyone but Zanna seems like the sort who would want a big ring and wedding too - imagine the content! Totally agree re Steph too.I’ve been with my partner nearly 7 years, friends over 10 and none of us are engaged. It’s just not a big deal for any of us, we’ve got houses, kids, dogs together (although Zambia has none of those things it would appear) but I’d have expected a big engagement announcement from her by now
Am also surprised Steph hasn’t got Lewis to propose either....
In the eyes of the law if you contribute to the mortgage- but your name is not on the property deeds or mortgage - you still can claim a stake in the property... as you have paid towards it and has what is known as a 'beneficial interest' ... I know it is absolutely mental - but that is the way it is because of the common law partnership laws.... there are a lot of cases in the UK where this has stood in a court of lawdo we think she’s contributing
to or paying for this decorating?!
