if i own a house with my b-friend and were fightinghow can i sell my half he wont buy?

Question

he says hell never sell

Answer 1

If you are joint owners and not married or considered common law married than there are only two choices he has.

1. Buy out your half of the equity and secure a new loan. He doesn't have to pay you half the value, just half the equity.

2. He has to sell. He has no choice in this situation if he doesn't want to buy you out

Answer 2

It all depends on what type of ownership you have. If you both own it then you are either both own the whole house or you each own half (this should be on the deed). If you each own half you can do whatever you want. You can put your half up for sale and if someone really wants it (they'd be crazy to buy it) you can sell your half and then your boyfriend will be a half owner with someone else. It gets trickier if you both own the whole house because then you have to be in agreement before anything is done to the house which can be hard if you are fighting. In that case you will probably have to get lawyers involved etc.
My boyfriend and I just bought a house together and we both own the whole house and I hope we never have to go through that but we did just get engaged so things are looking okay.

Goodluck.

Answer 3

You can't really force him to buy it or to sell the house. There's really not much you can do, besides take him to court. And if you go to court, chances are they'll make you sell it anyways. So, let him know that he can either buy out your half of the loan, or go to court. I'm sure he'd rather not go to court.

Answer 4

Take him to court and try to get the house sold, and the money divided equally.

Answer 5

Buy a freezer for your basement. Put some cyanide in his food. Once he dies, put his body in the freezer. Problem solved.
