Re: Need some housing advice.
It doesn't rally matter what your uncle has or has not done, or what he is like as a person, he as much right to the property as you do. He has paid his share of the mortgage and his name is on the deeds (I presume it is held in tenancy-in-common, rather than joint tenancy).

Your options are (from what I see), is that you could either ask your uncle to buy your shares of the property, or try to sell your shares to someone else. It is unlikely that he would agree the former, but if you take the action of the latter it may prompt him to do something about the situation. Saying that though, it is not easy selling a tenancy-in-common share, very few buyers would be interested in such an arrangement and you may be forced to sell below market value.
