    Agree clean break is the way to go forward.
    Can her "husband" be forced to sell?
    I can see him not co-operating to sell now

    .
    Yes. it'll cost a lot it's so much better to get co-operation.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • This should be part of divorce negotiations and if there are no kids then I would have thought that he could be forced to sell. If he won't cooperate on selling now what guarantee is there that he will cooperate in selling in x year's time? I honestly think it sounds like he does not want his lifestyle to change by splitting by your daughter but inevitably it does have to. All the compromises are going to be made by her under the proposed arrangement whereas if they go for a clean break he earns less than her he is going to have to downsize or move to a cheaper area. Sounds like he doesn't want to do that and is pulling the wait until the price increases tactic to delay his lifestyle changing.
