Basically I would like some advice here please.

As some of you may know, my fiancé and I have split up and although I have most of my belongings uplifted from her house, there are a few more things I still need to pick up.

I have tried to contact her to ask when I can collect these but she has ignored all of my phone calls/texts. However, just yesterday I managed to get through to her and she says she will not allow me to collect my things because apparently I owe her money (which I do not) and will not let me get them until she has the money.

What I want to know is what can I do from a legal point of view to recover my property from her house?

Thanks

Time for some professional legal advice---look for a lawyer who deals with property issues and who provides an initial free consultation.

Hire a mediator, get all of your finances in order (receipts of things you've spent on her bills, receipts on what you spent on your bills). You need to show proof that you don't owe her money for her rent. If your name is not on the lease, you don't owe her rent. If your name is on half the lease, and you paid your half, you don't owe her rent. She is trying to extort money from you. And the only way you can avoid that, is to get your finances put together, and then hire a mediator to help you communicate through via letters. Do not call or email her anymore. Have a mediator contact her. That is a good deterrent. She'll see that she can't successfully extort money from you, once you've got the law on your side. Try to avoid the 'tit for tat' back and forth with her anymore. It will only escalate (which is her goal, so that she can make it look like she is the victim, which of course is not true at all).
Thanks for this!

How much is the stuff worth that is still at her house? I'd say just leave it alone and don't start up with her or she'll trump up things against you, and you'll be worse off.

im holding stuff from my X...but only if he wants too much.
What is a reasonable agreement...?

There was so much stuff here after 3 years.
You have to get what is important to you..loved ones things..pictures and your most important things you want...otherwise...you have to let go.

Hi Depressed-Fiance here is a link to what you can do in your situation.

https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/fa...-you-separate/

According to the website, you can apply for what's called "an occupational order" to regain entry to your shared residence with your ex-fiance, to get the rest of your belongings.
