Breakup in relationship- how to sell house in joint mortgage?
Comments
-
Its nothing to do with the mortgage company so no need to contact them at this stage.wazza2004 said:Son and girlfriend bought a house with a joint mortgage. Only he lives in it. She plans to move in after marriage. The relationship has broken down. He wish to sell the property and move back home. This final decision was made today.
Was wondering if anyone can give any advice? He plans to contact the mortgage people to seek advice.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
The issue will be how much it's worth just 4 months later and then is that enough to pay off the entire mortgage plus the early redemption fee.
They also need to factor in selling fees.
Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)1 -

We been advised to go to a solicitors and see if we can apply for a court order to have the property sold. Son wants a clean break. If they still are being awkward then probably repossession is the only route.
Anyone had experience with court orders?

Why "we" and "our"? Isn't this simply between son and ex?1
