    Woodbine don't feel bad I wouldn't normally join onto an old post but I'm new and it was the only way I knew how to contact bubbles, I didn't realise we weren't allowed to ask on old threads my apologies everyone

    Of course you can add to old posts and quite understandable that you did so in this case.
    However what often happens then is that when we see the new post we read the whole thread from the start and then end up replying to earlier posts without noticing that they are very old. I started drafting quite a long reply to one of the posts early on in this thread yesterday but spotted it was old just before I posted.

    @bubbles40 we have found ourselves in a similar situation. Can I ask - did you speak to a solicitor to clarify? We are married and disabled and live in a family home, owned by my husband's parents. We are lucky that that have offered to transfer ownership to us. They want us to have security and it is unlikely that we'd get approved for a mortgage with our income and disabilities
