quick update - price is dropped to roughly about right (perhaps 2K high, but that's bargaining fodder anyway for buyer). But then a dead stop on any progress.
Problem is, she lies through her teeth to her solicitor, and I get accused of all sorts of things I've not done again. Mine has basically reached the end of what can be done. The ex-OH is now even 'stealing' back knickers from my drawers because she bought them. Stuff is dissappearing from the house, somehow, put it that way. I have absolutely no quality of life at all like this, and my health is really taking a beating. Prob is, if I move out, lover boy will move into a house I'm paying for, and for an indefinite period of time.
Do I now push the issue of buying her out, sit tight for three years until the mortgage is up, then sell up? OR live though absolute hell until a buyer appears.
I tell you folks, until you've had to live like this, you cannot imagine how horrendous is is.0 -
For your sanity you need to get this resolved within the next 6 weeks. The way to do this is to sell it for a good bit lower than you want to.
Ring the estate agent and ask them how much you need to price it at for a quick sale.
Seriously you are better moving to somewhere where they don't know where you live.
Your EA will know people buying still.

I can afford to buy her out, as its mainly in my name, but she can't afford to buy me out. Her family have told the ex-OH that if I buy the house, they'll kill themselves. SOOOOooo....!
The house has been on the market for two and a half months at top money (again, her choice and hence only two viewings) and I'm fighting to get it pushed down through my solicitor, so I can get rid of them. Need I say, the family, are a nightmare.
What would you do or advise? wait until it sells; or wait, perhaps take a hit and buy it out later in the year if it doesn't go by -say- July; or push to buy it out now; or have another idea?
if your not married - kick her out. lower price.
go to australia or canada. they like british accents there.0
