Never ever buy a property (a flat in my case) together with someone else. You should rather better offer to pay half the mortgage or have the other party pay you half the mortgage, but never buy together.

Of course I heard this and did buy a flat with my now ex anyway. I was lucky enough to manage to buy back the remaining half (burning basically all of my savings) but for a few months i was hunted by the idea of having to give up the place i worked so hard for.

Don’t… don’t do it.
