I will be in a similar situation soon as my boyfriend will move into the apartment I own. How do you feel about this inequality of him not owning and you owning it all? Or is it not an issue? I have doubts about it. What's your reasoning for him not contributing to the mortgage? I am very curious as this has caused some discussion already here.

I’m the same but in reverse! My boyfriend owns the house we live in and so I don’t contribute to his mortgage. It’s not ideal for me, I’d rather own where I live but it’s more important to him so we make it work! I’ll ultimately buy another place of my own that I can rent out/renovate which we will work on together but will be mine. It’ll all balance out in the end!

Hi I’m curious about this as maybe in the same situation, have you got a financial agreement in place? so he doesn’t make a claim on your house if god forbids you have a bad break up as I believe he’d still have a claim as although not directly paying the mortgage he is still paying towards living in the house?
