    Alright, let's put it another way. A half share of a house does not generally have an open market value. What you describe only happens where people know each other and the buyer wants to live with the remaining owner

    I can't imagine there's usually ever any other scenario!

    My ex has a second security on my property and certainly doesn't want to live with me :rotfl:

    It could be an option though for the OP - an agreement that £20k from any sale (or at some distant point in the future) is paid
