I would stop panicking. You have 28 days, and then what will happen? They can apply to the court, but there are huge backlogs so nothing is going to happen in a hurry.
Clearly, you have no option but to obtain your own legal advice on this. There’s nothing useful for people on this forum to tell you.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
Hi horselover. As for your agreement to market/release within 28 days - are there any contractual penalties written in if you fail to comply? Or would he have to seek an injunction from court to enforce that term? If the latter, he may well win an order if it every gets to court but you have lots more time to seek legal advice about the way forward.
The solicitors letter said after 28 days they would apply to the court for an order of sale unless I had actioned either an equity release or have the house up for sale. As they will not tell me what they believe the final figure to be I can't get the equity release because obviously the lender needs that information so they have effectively blocked me from getting the equity release while at the same time threatening me if I don't.

Only 8 days left but I take your point, I will have to get some legal advice ASAP
