    There are grounds - he owns half of it!

    NDG and G_M - didn't realise it applied in these circumstances too, you learn something new every day, thanks.

    I think this just increases pressure on the OP to make an offer on their brother's half of the property, which I think is a perfectly reasonable course of action for everyone concerned if they can agree on a figure that is fair to both parties.

    What? Ownership trumps charging order?
    I don't think there is a charging order. That only came up as an (erroneous) explanation of the circumstances in which a judge can order a sale.

    It's a red herring in this case.
