<prompt> Human: So the situation is as follows. I moved in with my SO, he is a home owner, I am not. He earns 3x what I do I earn about 21k30kyear.We agreed on a financial situation where I contribute 5050 to bills and groceries. I pay him a fixed amountper month to cover these and some other things, meaning I dont pay him rent as such but contribute to our costs in other ways.Now on to the new situation. He has been wanting to leave the city we live in since there are limited career options here, started pushing for a job in one of his companysother offices, and recently got it. We will be relocating soon - he managed to sell his flat very quickly - and he is planning to buy in our new location. My question is as follows: What are our options in this situation? I had to quit my job to follow him so am currently working my last week before becoming unemployed. The new area is a lot more expensive than where we live now but the salaries are higher. I estimate I could make about 30k40k there startingmy new job and more after that. The price of the houses we are looking at are in the 350k500k mark, which would buy us a modest 2-3 bed terraced houseflat, so downgrading isnt really an option.How can I contribute in this situation, other than what we have been doing so far? Is there anything we can do to purchase the house together, with me obviously having a very small share, or would this be a bad idea? Could I, if I save a lot, buy myself into a share of the house at a later stage? Is this ever done and is this hard to arrange? We are in the UK by the way.Thanks for any help  <response>: I dont know the housing laws in the UK...but regardless if i was in the USA or somewhere else, i would NEVER buy a house with someone im not married to. It just gets very very complicated if you guys were to break up. If i were in your situation, i would let him buy the house and you have nothing to do with it, dont sign any papers, dont pay anything. You can also just pay for utilities when you guys move in, or pay for kitchen appliances or sign a lease and pay him rent kind of thing.
