Would like a quick sale but don't need top dollar. How to do it ?

Just something that occured to me - what does the ex think here? If he owns part of the house then surely he has to agree the sale price. Will he be as happy as you to get a reduced price for a quick sale?
Coming back to the main question, ask some EA's to value for a 'very quick sale', they should then give you a realistic valuation0 -

I just have to say I love the imagery in this!
Bursting balloons is a phobia for me, so this would be my idea if hell, but I love the concept of suggesting it to an evil ex

You really can't sell it at some knock-down price to suit you, unless your nearly ex-husband agrees. OTOH, if he wants to take over the strain of looking after the sale, I guess he's welcome to do so. I don't get the impression that you are desperate for the money, but he may be and you don't have the right top deprive him - read that as the courts won't let you.
All in all, your best bet is to sort this out with your solicitor dealing with his solicitor. Your needs are an important consideration but not overwhelming. One option would be for you to agree to take less than your 50% of the sale proceeds. Example:
The house is worth (arguably) £120k given a decent period to market it, mortgage is £60k, so you each get £30k.
You want to get shot quickly so it is sold for £100k. Hubby should still get his £30k, so there's only £10k left over for you.
The exact figures would be a matter for negotiation, but you get the picture.
Sorry about the lupus, btw.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I wonder if I will ever get my account back how that someone has gotten my account details ? Ha ha.0
