OK this has nothing to do with me but its a question i have often mulled over.
If two people, be they married or not,have joint and equal ownership of a property,or at least the mortgage on it.. and they or one of them decide the relationship is over...if one moves out, how can that person ensure that the property is sold? OK so i know they can put it on the market but can anyone quote actual law which would facilitate this or is it simply a moral or civil dispute?

Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

If they are married then they would go through Ancillary relief proceedings. If one refused to sell the property, the Court can make an Order for sale (matrimonial causes act 1983 Section 24A).
Similarly if they are in a relationship (unmarried), proceedings can be commenced under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 to determine their interest in the property. The Court can Order the sale of the property in this instance too.Proud Mummy to Leila aged 1 whole year:j0 -
I think it is different if children live in the property too.0
