Woman Doesn't Want Her Mom to Give Her Partner ‘All Her Life Savings' as a Loan for a New House: ‘I'm Worried'
A Mumsnet user is worried that her mom is going to give a large loan — amounting to 'all her life savings' — to her partner of six years to buy them a new house
'I'm concerned because he won't marry her ... He won't put her on the deeds. He's never shared a will even,' she explained
Mumsnet users validated her concerns: 'Red flags everywhere'A significant loan request isn't making any sense for one daughter.
The woman explained on the community forum Mumsnet that her mom's partner of six years is requesting a large loan — amounting to all of her mom's 'life savings' — to buy them a new house.
'I'm worried even though on paper it's a short-term loan to enable him to buy a house now until the current one is sold,' she admitted, before describing how her mom feels. 'She's worried but she also trusts him.'
'To be fair, he's a nice guy, he's got two adult children, and my mom has two. They also share one child together, my brother,' she added. 'She lives in his house now, but it's quite small, so he wants to buy a slightly larger house for the family to visit, and he will be a grandfather soon.'
The daughter then laid out reasons why she's worried for her mom.
'I'm concerned because he won't marry her — he said it's too complicated with his adult children, work shares and a family trust,' she wrote, adding, 'He won't put her on the deeds. He's never shared a will even.'
'My mom puts up with this because she's still got her divorce money ring fenced in case of problems. That's her fail-safe,' she continued. 'He would be borrowing this money only on a short loan, but she's worried as am I if something random happens to him. How could she get it back?'

Mumsnet users validated their concerns — with 98% of the nearly 1,500 people voting in a poll choosing 'You are being NOT unreasonable.'
'WTF no! It would be mad to do this for all sorts of reasons,' one person replied, with another urging legal caution by commenting, 'If she feels inclined to do it she would need to take legal advice and get a watertight contract drawn up and signed before a penny is handed over.'
A third reader simply responded, 'Just no. Red flags everywhere.'

Florian Wirtz set for Liverpool medical later this week
Florian Wirtz will undergo a medical on Friday ahead of completing his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool. The plan, as things stand, is for Wirtz to arrive in the United Kingdom later this week ahead of the medical but both elements are subject to change. The Athletic reported on June 13 that Liverpool had agreed a fee of €136.3million (£116m), with €117.5m (£100m) due upfront and a further €18.8m in potential add-ons, to sign Wirtz. Advertisement The fee represents a club-record purchase for Liverpool and sale for Leverkusen, and would be a British transfer record if the add-ons are achieved. Leverkusen had reportedly set an asking price of €150m for the 22-year-old, which the Premier League champions did not intend to meet. Wirtz's Leverkusen contract runs until June 2027. The playmaker had also been targeted by Bayern Munich this summer but the Bavarians were informed last month that he favoured a move to Liverpool if he were to leave Leverkusen. Wirtz registered 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 matches in 2024-25 as Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga and reached the Champions League round of 16. In the previous campaign, Wirtz was key as Leverkusen won their first-ever German top-flight title with an unbeaten domestic season, alongside reaching the Europa League final. The Germany international scored 18 goals and assisted 20 in 49 matches, winning the Bundesliga player of the season award. Liverpool and Leverkusen have been in dialogue for a number of weeks after the Merseyside club met the €35million (£29.6m; $39.3m) release clause for Jeremie Frimpong. The full-back's arrival at Liverpool was announced on May 30, following the sale of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup. Wirtz and Frimpong have joined head coach Xabi Alonso in departing Leverkusen this summer, with the Spaniard taking over from Carlo Ancelotti at Madrid. Leverkusen have appointed former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag as their new head coach. ()

UK Ethanol Maker in Last-Ditch Effort to Save Plant on US Threat
A UK ethanol producer that has warned of the risk to its business from rising tariff-free US imports said it is almost too late to save its output. The facility at Wilton, England faces 'imminent closure' following last month's trade agreement with the US, operator Ensus said in a statement. A production halt would eliminate more than 100 jobs at the plant and affect a supply chain of about 3,000 people locally.
