Investment in Ex-partners Home

Am very new to this and unsure of how to proceed...

My partner of six years and I split up last November. Over the six years we lived together (home in his name) we redecorated and refurbished the property to a very high standard (adding seventy thousand pounds of value to the property). On selling the property last July, there was ninety thousand pounds worth of equity left. On splitting, my ex has informed me that as the property was in his name I am entitled to none of that equity, nor half of the value added in the time we lived together. This is despite our joint investment in the home over the six years.

Is this something I should press legally? Or am I really entitled to nothing under Scottish law?

Confused and very upset at having been such a fool.

Hi Harlean
I really don't know what your rights are but suggest that you see someone at your local Citizen's Advice Bureau, they will be able to tell you. I would think you would have some sort of claim and that it would be worth speaking to them.
Good luck
