Sale Of Home

[fuggy]

Is it possible for a separated to sell the home without the parties knowlege, the property is jointly owned and the othe party refuses to sell.

[Old_Geezer]

No expert, but doubt it can be done legally, unless maybe the other party was a missing person.

[Buenchico]

For a sale to go ahead, the party seeking a sale would need to apply for a an 'order for sale' from the County Court. The other party would automatically be notified of the application.

Can the Land registry have anything to do with the sale of property? I think not but you never know.

Can the Land registry have anything to do with the sale of property?
Well you have to complete a TR1 form for Land registry.
All transferors need to execute it

Thanks you all very informative

oh yu are the one who wants to sell ( rather than you are afraid it will be sold above your head)
go thro the motions and then apply to a judge who will order a sale

these things costs money and it would be sensible for the non selling party to cave in and say - all right all right etc....

they may not

[bednobs]

I presume both parties in question own the house. If you have simply separated from a partner who disn't own the house it's a different story

[Peter Pedant]

it is difficult to jointly own property and not own it

if X is the only one in the land register then he can sell. - oh and it depends who is in it
for anything other than straightforward - see a lawyer
