Selling the house after a separation
When a relationship ends, the house is often the largest thing left to decide. Months on the market can keep two people tied together long after both want to move on.
This might be you if
- You both want a clean break and a clear number
- One of you has already moved out and the costs are piling up
- You cannot agree on an agent, an asking price or viewings
Worth knowing, whoever you sell to
Both owners need to agree
If the house is in joint names, both owners have to agree to the sale and sign the paperwork. A single figure from one buyer can make that simpler than a string of offers.
Keep your solicitors informed
If a financial settlement is being agreed, your solicitors will want to know about any sale early.
- 1One figure, in writing, shared with both of you.
- 2No viewings and no public listing.
- 3We deal with you both fairly and even-handedly.

Common questions
Do we both need to be on the call?
It helps, but it is not essential at the start. Both owners will need to agree before anything proceeds.
Tell us about the house.
A short call, no obligation. An offer usually follows within two to three days.
