Right i am in the process of buying my second house, i have been with my fiancee for 3 years. Now this house is coming from my wages and savingsand the house we are selling has all been out of my pocket apart from 3k max over the 2 years we lived there. My girlfriend wants to be on the deeds of the new house but i am afraid of being ripped off, its happened before to me you see, i have said i will add her when we get married but she wants to be on them when we exchange contracts, is there anything i can do to put her on the deeds but make it so she isnt entitled to half as she wont be contributing financially, i wouldnt mind if it was only 100k or so but its a £350K house so i have a lot to lose.

If her name is on the deed then yes she has a right to that house as much as you! There is no 2 ways about it.
As far as you being on the deed by yourself it would be your house only. However... If you are married or when you get married this could change. If you divorce she could be entitled to part of the house anyways. You may want to do a free consultation with a lawyer about that. States differ.

Well the best thing you can do is just be more open and talk about problems. Also have fun and don't take everything to heart all the time. Was he like that before you lived together? Maybe he needs to start growing up and start being an adult rather then complain a lot. Make sure this is what you really want because maybe you two are not meant to live together. You have to compromise sometimes.

Why would you put her on the deed of trust at all if she is not a borrower? That makes no since. Get a grip! The day you get married and spend 1 night in that home together as husband and wife, in most states (DOWER) she is entitled as a joint tenant with rights of survivor-ship.That is when she gets any portion. Why set yourself up if the relationship may not work out? If she is not a contributing partner she gets nothing till you are married.
If you want her entitled on the home then make it tenants in common. If you die then she is only in-titled to half of the home and your estate gets the other half.
I am a mortgage banker.

I have extensive experience with this issue, and I urge you not to put her on the deed.
If you cave into her wishes, get a lawyer to draw up a partition agreement which limits her minority interest in the house to a specific percentage.

You have a right to be worried about this sort of thing. Buy the house in your own name. If she loves you she should understand.

By the house on your own. When she gets married to you she will be half the owner anyways.

Wow..it's time to really think about all this.....I would start by talking to a good lawyer to make sure you are protected..... are you sure you want to marry someone with this atitude? Why can't she wait until after the wedding? She seems selfish to me. Think about it.
