My partner and I are making a joint Will, I'm not sure if this is fair?
Nothing has been signed yet.
When he dies he wants his daughter to inherit half our house, of course that is fair, however he wants her to inherit her half immediately after his death rather than wait until after we both die.
So what does that mean for me if he dies first? Do I have to find half the money to buy her out? Or face selling the house ? I don't think that is fair and would rather she inherits her rightful half after we are both dead.
Don't get me wrong I love my partner dearly but to think if he dies I will not only be going through a bereavement but I may lose my home is very worrying.
Please let me know if you think this is unfair too.

Explain to him how hard it would be to possibly loose your house while dealing with his death. It is not fair of him to expect you to sign a will like that.
Tell him you'll sign if it states she'll inherit the house if or once you both die only.

yes it means exactly that
of course its unfair
he can include a clause that states you get to live in the house until your death (sorry to be blunt)
and then his daughter gets her half, and who ever you willed your half to gets theirs
that is what most people do in a situation like this
