Joint mortgage - want to sell

Hi everyone,
I have been living ion my home for nearly 10 years now. Joint mortgage but ex-partner and I split a LONG time ago - 7 years to be exact. I have tried to contact her through various means all with no success. I know that she has received some of the emails, texts and FB messages as well as a mutually close friend contact her when she was online asking her to contact me - all again to no avail.
Having since re-married 5 years ago we're now thinking of selling the house - problem is the Mortgage Company are being extremely stubborn and merely say I can sell without her 'permission' - but the distribution of any capital would not happen unless I had her signature (for something they were unclear about).
Isn't there a way I can have the courts over-ride her authority on the mortgage as she clearly has NO intentions at all of playing ball. I wouldn't mind but we have told her that we would work out a fair amount to give her after the sale.
Thanks in advance!

Try a solicitors letter. I think you'll have to go down the legal route for this one.0

not from personal experience, but I know someone who does:does anyone know what the procedure looks like?
