He!!!8217;s estimated to get around £8-13k dependant on what the house went for. So taking it down the court route would work but again could be a really long drawn out process.
The problem with him saying he would move back in is that she changed the locks about 2 years ago, and he could threaten court with that but then there are the court costs again to drag her to court to get the locks changed.
We could technically buy her out but the house is on a very busy road with no parking and my daughters school would be a long drive away. It!!!8217;s in a different area to where we are renting how close to the school.
I appreciate all your comments, since me posting this morning the estate agents say the house stats are looking bad in their books so wants to remove the house from their listings unless she cooperates, she has since came back and said !!!8216;remove the house from the market then!!!8217;0 -
You don!!!8217;t need to go to court to change the locks.0

If he owns the house then surely he's entitled to get a locksmith in to change the locks himself? He can then furnish her with a set of keys if he's feeling decent?0
