    is there any reason why your partner would not move into your property? if he rents out his existing property he would not have any tax deductions that he could claim as far as loan repayments go because he owns the property outright.

    if you rent your property out there would only be minimal tax concessions for loan repayments as the amount outstanding is so low.

    Go to a good solicitor and get a defacto financial agreement that states how much you own of your property before you have your partner move in.

    This would protect both your financial interests.

    Your Partner could then sell  his property and use this for a deposit .

    With what is left over you could buy an investment property with a good deposit in both your names.
    .
