How Do I Buy His Half Of The House?

I took out a mortgage with my ex in December where we put about 9k deposit in each. Everything was 50/50. I recently told him I wanted to split and he chose to move out. He is still paying his half of the mortgage as neither of us want the house repossessed.

If we were to sell the house now, due to the fees involved we would end up with about 3.5k each from our 9 each. However, I would like to keep the house and buy him out of his half. If he agress to sign it over to me, is there a minimum amount he is entitled to? Is he entitled to his 9k deposit or can I make him an offer over the 3.5k he would get from the sale?

I have taken him off the council tax payments. He is just paying his half of the mortgage plus life and house insurance.

Where do I stand with having friends over? Say I meet a new partner and the situation with the house takes a long time to resolve, would I be able to have him over if my ex says I cant?
