We often receive enquiries from clients when a relationship breaks down between two unmarried people and one party wants to sell the jointly owned property and the other doesn’t, or vice versa. Some clients feel that there is nothing that can be done and that they are alone; that’s not true and we can step in.

What can we do?
Our litigation team is experienced in applying for orders for sale on terms that are favourable to our clients, so the money and a fair outcome can be realised.

The benefit of applying for an order is that control is taken away from the partner who may be using the property as a way to take revenge on the other party, who is often the individual who has ended the relationship. Additionally, the stress is transferred to us, your lawyers, and we will manage the process for you from start to finish.

We also have experience resisting such applications and so can act for you regardless of what side of the dispute you are on.

How much does it cost?
Sometimes clients do not have the funds that they need to issue court proceedings and obtain their interest from the property. In these circumstances we may be able to offer deferred payment agreements.

If a deferred payment agreement is in place, you would not pay for our services until the property in question is sold. Our fees are then directly deducted from the proceeds of sale.

Contact our team on 01843 234000 if you would like to discuss your case and whether a deferred payment agreement is suitable for you.
