We cohabited and he doesnt have his name on the deeds.He hasnt any right to any of my house and cant force the sale.I have sent him a letter by recorded delivery asking him to vacate by 12 noon on 24th october.Im a bit stuck now as dont know what to do if he is still there 24th october.Any advice.
 
Well you've given him plenty of notice anyway!

I suppose the obvious answer is to wait until he's out then pack all his stuff and change the locks if he doesn't move out by the stated time.

Hope it works out, it must be very tense in your house at the mo
 
Without knowing the details, I'd recommend getting advice from a solictor pronto. Do not move out of your house in the meantime. If you have only been together a year or two, personally, I think you are being more than generous if things are that bad, in giving him a month's notice. I'd be giving him a list of B&B's sellotaped to his lovingly packed bin bags.
 
You will then need a solicitor to serve an eviction notice.

With a time scale, that constantly goes longer, and then if that doesn't work then a court order.

Once you have the court order then you can evict with the help of the police!

Good luck!

Failing that my friend had a HUGE big brother and she changed her locks on the house and Big Bruv evicted her ex without the need to go to solicitors!
 
why that long? he is not a tenant is he?
if not and you want him gone then pack his stuff up, chuck it out and change the locks. He doesnt have any right to the property so why the long time frame.

Why are you chucking him out? are you giving him the long time frame in the hope he will apologise for whatever has happened and you can get back together? xx
 
Wow almost a month, you are very generous :). I had similar but in a flat I was leasing rather than owning as I was studying away from home. I told him to move out the next day (he had a house, or rather his parents, in London to return to). He refused to move his stuff and after 2/3 weeks of giving him multiple deadlines to no avail I contacted the police and they told me I was quite within my right to put all of his stuff (including valuables) outside the front door of the flat for him to collect as I had given him multiple warnings and a final deadline (although not to put them in the dustbin :( ). After doing this I rang the estate agents leasing me the property and had the locks changed. Not the end of the story unfortunately for me but I got there with some more police intervention! Good luck with getting everything sorted I know it feels hellish at the time but things slowly get better :) the quicker you get him out the quicker you can move on with your life.

I would obtain some advice very quickly though. I only have a very hazy recollection about getting rid of an ex and that was a rented property. I know the law with "common in law" partners has changed but its most definately worth a call to CAB to be sure you are completely upto date with your rights and that he has no call. I would also question the giving him till the 24th. I did that for mine (and he did have somewhere to go to) and it was just awful. Mine also dragged out the whole "stuff out" - I would go out for an afternoon and come back to find he had just taken a bag AND it gave him a good excuse to poke around the flat (and comment on what I was doing). I lost my temper in the end and packed everything up in black bags. Put it out by the bins, changed the locks and told him I had done this and he didn't want it, the dustmen would be along some 3 days later and would collect. My ex was also smoking hash and taking coke (didn't realise about the coke till nearly a year - talk about nieve). Changed my mind from the "you are an adult, you make your own choices" to "you are on drugs? then you are not in my life".

Do you have anyone who could start to come to visit you/stay over just for moral support as well? A very good GF moved in once I had got rid and was a godsend when he really started to play up (you know, the late night phone calls, etc etc)
