urgent advice needed pleasae

right this could be a long one.

missus was married to a to$$er. a !!!! up with the mortgage meant it was in his name. they were married for a few years and got divorced. then came the subject of mediation. they both went and agreements were made. these were
1) she would have a say on the estate agent responsible for selling the house
2) she would have a say on whether or not an offer was acceptable
3) when the house sells, the profit would be split 50/50

the house was valued at £85 grand. he was in a bit of debt and owed about £30 grand on the mortgage. she had paid some off while they were together.
just before the mediation started, he remortgaged the house for £64 grand. paid off what he owed on the original mortgage and his debts and was left with about £30 grand.
she didnt know about this at the time of the mediation but settled for half the profit should the house sell for its asking price.
he chose the estate agent without asking her. his solicitor never informed her solicitor. an offer was made on the house, i found this out from a friend. her solicitor doesnt know about this. the offer has been accepted and is way below market value. i know the reason he has done this is to shaft her. hes sat on a little nest egg of 30 grand plus what he gets from the sale of the house. the house has definitely been sold subject to contract, as i found out who was buying it and asked him.
the mediation was blessed by the good courts of england. now that he has broke the terms of the mediation, and in effect a court order, does this mean that the terms of the mediation are nothing more than crap?
if so what rights does the missus now have? her ex husband has acted like a complete !!!!!! and has done nothing but drag his feet with this and tried to make her life practically impossible. she is intimidated by him and hated mediation because of his intimidation. she felt she was pushed into a corner.

anyway, like i asked above, what rights does she have and where does she stand now with regards to what she can and cant do?

You say the mortgage was in his name - but was the house in joint names - if so then she will have to sign the contract to enable it to be sold. That being the case she can hold out and go back to her divorce solicitor with the information you have and let them check it out. The husband could probably go to court and ask them to enforce the terms of the mediation - i.e. make her sign the sale contract but that would be a very good time to bring up all his little tricks as defence.

You can either threaten to, or actually, put a 'charge' on the property. This shows anyone doing a Land Registry search that you have an interest in the property and would certainly make a mortgage lender be cautious.

Tell your solicitor to tell his solicitor and the buyers solicitor and the lender about this like asap!!!

Unless she is not on the deed or the mortgage docs he should not be able to do this.
Maybe there is more to it than you know?

the house was in his name only. there were some serious errors made when they bought it. the husband has broken the terms of the mediation therefore its about as much use as a chocolate teapot. how can she be expected to stick to the terms set out now that he has done everything except stick to them?

uk007bulldog. there is more to it but i know it all. he has sold the house to someone who is willing to rent it. he is going to be the one renting it although i have no proof. he has done all he possibly can to try and scam the missus.
