Advice for a friend....

[Chris Hopkins]

My friend currently owns a property 50/50 with somebody he used to work with, recently his housemate has let his girlfriend move in with them permanently without my friends permission.

It's causing all kinds of problems as she is completely disrespectful of his things, she also doesn't contribute anything to the house.

It's been about 6 months since she moved in and he's sick and tired of it and wants her out. He has tried speaking to his housemate and now contact has broken down between them as well, it ended in a mega row last week where my friend pushed his housemate over, he went to the police and he now has a criminal record!

Is there anything at all that he can do to get her out of the house or any ideas to make her feel totally unwelcome with no come backs?


Thanks all

(for you info, she isn't at all attractive)

So you're not interested in a 3some with her?

[bull996]

Personally... No.

However I did suggest he tries to bed her and film it then show his housemate the evidence. He declined

[MrVelox]

What sort of pussy motherfker goes crying to the cops because he got pushed over?

Tell your friend to knock the st out of him, at least then the criminal record will be worth it.

How the fk do people get themselves in these situations? Are they all crazy?

[V8mate]

Call an estate agent and get a For Sale sign put out the front.

Usually focus' the minds of co-owners.

I would seek advice from Ab@

Actually, on second thought... maybe not...

Then again, on third thought, we could all be doing with a laugh!

That situation is resolved thats not the issue, he just wants her out now

The criminal record is only a very minor one as no actual physical damage was done other than him claiming to the police about headaches and nightmares since.....

Is that in writing somewhere?

recourse? make the guy buy the 50% share back and piss it up the wall, you know, party a bit...

...who hasn't got a criminal record these days?

oh, right... there's no equity left...

bummer!

[BoozyHughesy]

I may be wrong but I'd be amazed if your friend pushed someone over then had a criminal record in the space of a week? is he sure he didn't just get a caution or something? I thought you had to go to court to get a criminal record?

With the benefit of hindsight, this is why these sort of potential situations should be discussed before they buy a place.

On a more constructive note.......

Can the house mate and his oh buy out your mate?
If so, negotiations should begin.
Can your mate buy out his housemate?
If so negotiations should begin.
If neither is possible, then a reasonable way of selling the house needs to be set.
Seeing as we dontr know your mate, or his housemate, we are going to have to assume that they arent both bellends, and can ge this doe in a businesslike, if not convivial manner.

With the best will in the world, I suspect yor mate is in for a financial buttfking, think of it like a divorce but wihtout the sex first.

If i wzas feeling really glass half empty, have the house mate and the girlfriend been planning exactly this situation?

Absoloutely no idea...

They have owned the house for 8 years together and have hated each other for 7 of them... why he didn't sell years ago I have no idea, I think it didn't bother him until recently as his housemate spent all his time in his bedroom previousely.

To put there relationship as housemates into perspective, My friends housemate bought a 2nd fridge for himself because my friend once used some of his milk in a cup of tea thinking it was his own.

'Straight Outta Compton', though you will probably threaten to pop a cap in my ass for suggesting that you hail from the West Coast.

Dear Chap, over here in Blighty we do things a little differently. If a fellow knocks another fellow over then the latter fellow is quite within his rights to exploit our useless legal system and have the other fellow arrested for common assault, irrespective of the misery that the other fellow has been causing our fellow for the past 6 months. That is why this country is not much cop and you can no longer give the young oiks who you catch vandalising your car a good clip around the ear. Personally, I blame the politically correct madness that has filtered its way over from certain parts of the USA, though I do like the idea of being able to shoot dead anyone who stands on your porch and who looks like they might be intending to break into your house and steal your property. Over here, we have to invite them in for a cup of tea, show them where we keep the family silver and move the occasional furniture in case the ruffians trip over it in the middle of the night, sprain their ankle and then take legal proceedings out against us for causing them an injury.

Neither are in a position to buy one another out, the latter comment about them planning it wouldn't suprise me.

Originally my friend owned the house with his girlfriend but they had a break up and his now housemate came along and bailed him out by buying into the property for a 50% share.

His housemate has also previousely refused to put the house up for sale

He admitted full responsability to stop it going through the courts as his housemate had his girlfriend as a witness, it's classed as a criminal caution that is recorded on his record, not a criminal convition. Doesn't really mean much but still a st thing to do to someone you live with.

What a mess. I don't envy your mate at all. Is the house mortgaged? And is your mate sure his housemate hasn't borrowed against it???

Solicitor time then, although a lawyer will I tihnk tell him he has no way of forcing the other party to sell.

[Dupont666]

To be honest, your mate can do fk all about it.... its part owned by both and he decides to move his gf in, so there is fk all he can do about it, other than ask her to pay her share of bills, etc.

I would be mosted pissed off if your mate tried to do that to me.

He can sell tho as the other person can buy him out or take the hit and sell, its not his call to say no hes not allowed to sell the house cause he doesnt want to.

Yeah its mortgaged, he's pretty sure he won't have done anything like that, they do have a fair bit of equity in the property though.

On a less serious note, are there any thoughts on making his housemates life uneasy so he agrees to selling? like switching his fridge of accidentely something like that but if possible something his housemate can't do easily in return...
