Consent orders after divorce
Hello there, I’m due to buy my ex wife out of our home as we are now divorced and have a financial consent order. Within a consent order you are given 99 days to settle up. I’ve remortgaged and have the money aside to buy her out but my ex has delayed returning paperwork by weeks on end and the conveyancing solicitor are really slow and terribly rated online because of this. I didn’t want to use them but they was the only option according to my bank, so I had to go with them. Are there any penalties if I go over the 99 day period? I’ve been prompt on everything I have had to do myself and return but the ex and the conveyancer have just dragged their heels at every opportunity. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Speak to your solicitor. Get in writing from them a complaint about delays.
