She was the nasty one?
She gave him a loan of 200k of her life savings so he wouldn't lose the home to his previous (third) wife in the first place.
He still owes the cash whether the home is flattened or not so now he's homeless and still in debt.

Why do people who previously cared for each other let things get to this level, there seems to be no suggestion that he didn't want to pay her back as he was prepared to put the house up for public auction, okay she had got "someone" to pay 170,000 for the house and the land but who is to say this "someone" isn't her new love or someone related to her. He did a very stupid thing flattening his house, but she seemed to be pushing for a very cheap sale and you have to wonder why. Both sides end up with alot less then they had before, she can still push for the sale of the land though whilst he will have nothing. Horrible house too much cement and too little glass.

yes she is nasty, she should of let it be sold at auction, and he would of got something back for five years of work, also he brought the first cottage all be it with his previous wife, he never said she could not have her money back,
and what mug would sell the cottage the house and a piece of land for 170 when it was valued at over 300!.

Bet she will let the land go to public auction now though as if she doesn't she may not get the full sum owed back. Once the land is gone and if he has no further assets he can declare himself bankrupt and she can whistle for it.

Exactly, justice will prevail and she'll get most of her 200k back & he'll be left with nothing & be homeless, serves him right :joker:

How do you know?
And he was the one that completely destroyed 5 years of work not her :laugh:
I hope he enjoys bankruptcy.
Saying that he's already been in 4 marriages/relationships that we know of it probably wont take him long to find another wealthy victim online.

wealthy victim!, you must be joking, hope he enjoys his bankrupcy, your nice!.
ther is nothing in the article says that he would not pay and said it should go to public auction.

This is a man that was childish enough to destroy a house in 5 mins that he was working on for 5 years, just out of spite.
This article is only one side of the story so you have no idea whether he would have paid her what he owed or not, but I have said all I want to about him/the article.
You can continue blindly defending him if you want though :idc:

your bloody rude!, like your the all seeing eye!.
it took five hours to destroy the house not five minutes, he may have been childish but she was screwing over.
the buyer was paying the exact amount of debt that was owed!, please give me a break.

He said he wanted it to go to public auction so she would get paid and he would have some left over, she was pushing for a private sale for exactly the amount she was owed.

Exactly, she was being equally pig headed so 50/50 blame really, a house in that location would probably have done very well at auction, plus there would have been a reserve on it to prevent it being sold cheaply.

She wouldn't have had the right to sell it if the lease was not 100% hers. The only issue is him not paying her back & him being so childish & demolishing his house so that she could not recieve the money she was owed. The only thing she is guilty of is trying to get her own money back.

Doesn't matter if she was pushing though she couldn't force him to sell. His childish ill thought out reaction ruined things for both of them.

yes i agree you have said enough.
Commenting on this article the same as everyone else on the thread isn't personal or rude. And twisting peoples words adds nothing worthy to the disscussion btw.

if you read the article, the loan was against two properties and a parcel of land.
she agreed to give him two months to sell privately or it would go to public auction, but after 3 days he had an email from her lawyer saying they where seeking possession, and that she had buyer, that wanted to give 170 for all 3 properties!,
he was stupid but she was trying to screw him over.

She was pursuing it through her solicitor and forcing a sale to repay the debt as there was no issue that the debt had to be repaid, she obviously and quite rightly had paid him the loan and has proper papers to prove that she had paid it to him.

Nope it is nothing like that.
Doesn't matter if she was pushing though she couldn't force him to sell. His childish ill thought out reaction ruined things for both of them.
She was forcing the sale, it says so in the article, his house was due to be repossessed to pay the debt.
‘We talked about our financial agreement and she said she would give me two months to sell the properties and if I couldn’t manage it, they would go to public auction with a reserve of £170,000 for all three properties, enough to cover the remainder of her loan.
‘But three days later, I got an email from her solicitor in Aberdeen saying they were starting repossession proceedings.’
Mr Lawton added: ‘I was upset about the way things went. It was not done out of rage; possibly hurt pride. That night, I knew I was going to lose the property.
'It is sad my dream has ended this way. I wish to God I had never met Valerie. But there’s no point wasting emotion worrying over things that have happened'
Paul Lawton
‘Valerie said she had an offer for £170,000 from someone on Orkney looking to buy all three properties for just the £170,000 she was owed.
‘So basically, it felt they would all have been laughing at me behind my back. She had me by the short and curlies and I felt backed into a corner.
‘The proper way to have dealt with it would have been to put it to public auction. She would have got her money and I would have received some money too but Valerie wouldn’t let me do that.

..the irony of those two words...http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/images/smilies/iron2.gif..because it's not an emotional reaction at all to bulldoze a house down..and not at all a waste of 5 years of your life, even though you're not going to be able to live there yourself..to not allow someone else to enjoy and appreciate those 5 years, which you have spent building it...

she was equally twattish pushing to sell off his assets for just enough to cover her debt even though they were worth a lot more. I can't see how she comes out of this looking good either.

..yeah, you're right Cherie, I don't think that she does come out of it looking good either..it's always sad (but often happens) that people who have had feelings toward each other can then feel so much bitterness when the relationship comes to an end.. and it's so often about 'money/possessions' as well..a real 'relationship gone wrong' in this case for whatever reasons and they both look bad and appear very vindictive and bitter.but because of the extremity of his actions, he's not only made himself look far worse than her, he's also made her look better as well...irony...
..he really has wasted 5 years of his life now because the people who would have bought the house and lived there, would have appreciated their home and loved it and then it wouldn't have been a 'waste'....

Pay a lawyer for a prenup or pay a lawyer to sort out the carnage. I know which one will cost you less. If people know what the deal is before they get married, there'd be less of this ridiculousness - from both sides.

Even more reason then to have some kind of contract when money and property are involved. If they were two uninvolved people investing, they'd never dream of going ahead with only verbal contracts to protect their interests.
