PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    We'll see if we can talk sense into the fourth person and see if we can make any headway.

    The three of us have already asked the fourth person if they would consider us buying them out. However, they have asked for a ridiculous price way way above the actual market value (we had three property agents come to give a valuation). 
    The obstructer has already been asked to agree a buy out based on the actual market value.

    It appears that a £5K hit for legal fees might be cheap by comparison?
    It's not just £5k hit for legal fees, but say a 2 year delay whilst this grinds through the courts. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's actually the guy who's living there rent free and refusing either to sell or  move out.

    The woman who is still living there is one of the three (majority) owners wanting out.
    The OP said in an earlier post that the female owner doesn't want to sell as she wants to continue living there. Legal route could be messy regarding family ties.
