Thinking of moving in...what are implications for property?

[Max22258]

It is a fact that the house is clear in your name and will remain yours, but the equity buildup may be disputed if you separate. As it been suggested do get an agreement before hand. Rent is not equity buildup but renovation or any work around the house can lead to this so make it clear and have a lawer draw an agreement between the both of you. Of couse that will cost a bit but not as much as if you did not have any agreement and you separate.
