Transfer Of Jointly Owned Property Pre Court Approval

topcatz1

My wife has found another property she wants to purchase asap and she wants me to buy her out of our property before any formal court approval for a consent/financial order. Is this a risky move?

Additionally is my purchase SDLT exempt as divorce has been filed or will it only be exempt by a further court order?

Has the consent order been signed and submitted? Usually the consent order would have something like that you will buy her out within X days of the consent order. 
If it's not been at least signed then that's a bit riskier and I wouldn't recommend it.
