Is there anyone who knows about law?

[tinman]

Hi all. I have just been discharged from bankruptcy, my home is still at risk from being taken by the Trustee, at any time, and I'm worried about what to do.

My Fiancee, who is now classed as my common-law wife, owns half the property, but the ay the house prices are rising we'll be out on our ears before long.

The house in in a dyer state at the moment, with the boiler not working (been told it needs replacing), we have a leak from the attic, and from the bathroom (which leaks into the living room), and the bathroom itself needs a complete suit putting in, as the toilet also has a slight leak, the kitchen cupboards under the sink are ruined due to a bust pipe (which nedds replacing, as it's only been tightened), also the carpet on the stairs needs replacing.

 

I know it may sound like being kicked out would be a dream come true, but the point I need to make is that we both want to start a family, as I am now 35 and getting no younger, and we want to fix up the house, but I fear that we may spend all our time and money on re-vamping the place, only for it to be taken away from us.

 

Can anyone please shed some light on what I can do to keep my home, without getting someone to buy the equity, because that's not even an option.

 

I look forward to hearing from anyone with sound advice.
