Selling joint property

Dooley

It's still ongoing and I'm still worried about agreeing on completion date but cant do anything but wait and see.

surely it is no different to any other chain, it completes when it is able to do so?

as for him moving into rented but you "cannot", I would be careful about labelling someone as "uncooperative" if demands flow in one direction and nothing is offered in return for the demand

Agree with the above. You cannot say he is being uncooperative because you want things your way. Cats can easily be kept secret particularly in a short term renting situation.

Dooley

I don't know I just think it's more difficult, more chance of things going wrong, risking losing the sale.
Well I've not gone into full details about him being difficult. I was just giving a flavour. Our situations are different so rented wouldn't be as much of an issue for him, but mainly it was the fact he could easily stay at a friends or at his mums. I just don't have that option. I'm not refusing to do anything, I just don't have options.

I appreciate your points.

Yes it will be additionally complex coordinatig your 2 purchases with your sale (plus any others in both chains).

Move in together until the 2nd purchase can take place.

"I've suggested he move into rented..."
"He is being extremely uncooperative..."
"I dont want to rent anywhere as it's usually a six month contract minimum!"
Okay then...

Dooley

The two sentences are standalone. I just didn't want to get into personal stuff why he's being uncooperative. I fear, based on other things he's doing, that he'll not try and find a compromise. As I stated, our situations are different and what won't work for me, is possible for him.

Would you like me to give you every detail of our relationship and breakup? Would that help you to offer advice on the mortgage/chain situation?

Am I being unreasonable in suggesting he rent or stay with someone temporarily, when it's entirely possible for him to do that, but when my circumstances stop me from doing that. Don't you think I'd gladly resolve the situation myself and remove myself from it if I could?

armchaireconomist

We probably do need to know your personal situations to advise on what the best course of action is, yes. However i thought it best not to ask.

Why can't you rent somewhere out of interest? On the face of what information you've gave, it does come across as you being unreasonable to be honest. Could be wrong.

marliepanda

I realise you are not wanting to give overly personal details.

However, it boils down to:

You want him to rent, he doesnt want to.

You also don't want to rent because reasons (cat and 6 month tie in, according to your post)

So neither of you want to rent, because reasons, yet you think his reasons aren't as good as yours.

Deleting as I don't want him finding this
