    My first thought was how was the house value not included in the financial agreement when you divorced.
    Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    OP, I don't quite understand your approach to this. You've been given lots of good advice so far, but no-one can help you further until you obtain the key info that is missing. This is neither difficult nor expensive to do; most can be done online, possibly with the exception of the historic valuation required.
    What is clear is that at some point you will be facing a CGT bill on the sale of the property, so wouldn't you be better off having a reasonable idea of how much that might be now, rather than kicking it into the long grass?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
