A clearer route forward
Divorce or separation
A shared home can be one of the most difficult decisions during a separation. We offer a private first conversation about timing, ownership and the practical routes available to both parties.
Practical support
How we can help
The right route depends on the property and what matters most to you. We will explain the practical choices clearly.
Discuss the property without assuming that either person has already decided to sell.
Consider how timing, mortgage commitments and a linked purchase affect the options.
Compare a direct sale with an assisted or open-market sale in plain English.
Keep communication clear while your solicitor deals with ownership and settlement matters.
The usual process
What usually happens
Every sale has its own details, but this is the plain-English shape of a direct property conversation.
Start with the shared facts
We ask about the property, the ownership position and the timing each person is working towards.
Compare the routes
We explain what a direct purchase, assisted sale or open-market sale could mean for speed, price and chain risk.
Take independent advice
Before making a decision, each person should get advice from an appropriate solicitor or financial adviser about their own circumstances.
Agree the legal timetable
If a sale is chosen, solicitors handle the legal work. A direct sale may take as little as 7 days once checks are ready, though the wider circumstances may require longer.
A transparent starting point
How the offer is worked out
A direct cash sale is a different route from selling on the open market, so the price and the trade-offs should be clear from the start.
Offers are often around 85% of market value as a guide, although every property is assessed individually. A cash sale is typically below full open-market value because the buyer takes on speed, certainty, no estate agent fees, no legal costs for the seller and no chain risk.
The comparison matters
The open market may achieve a higher price, but normally takes longer and can involve a chain, commission and other costs. We will set out the difference so you can weigh up what matters to you.
Routes to consider
Options that may suit you
There is no single best route for every seller. We can talk through the options and help you decide what deserves a closer look.
Cash purchase
A direct route where a clear timetable and no onward buyer are important to both parties.
Assisted sale
A supported route that may allow more time to present the property and pursue a stronger market price.
Flexible sale
A timetable that can be discussed around moving arrangements and the legal process.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
If you are unsure what applies to you, start here. We can also talk through the details in confidence.
Do both owners need to agree to sell?
The ownership and legal position determine who must agree and sign. Speak to your solicitor before making a decision about the property.
Can you speak to us privately?
Yes. We can have an initial conversation about the property and explain the routes without assuming that you are ready to proceed.
How is a shared property offer handled?
We assess the property individually and explain the figure and trade-offs clearly. Your solicitors can then advise on how any sale proceeds are dealt with.
How long could a sale take?
A direct sale can sometimes complete in as little as 7 days once legal checks are ready. Ownership, mortgage and settlement matters may make the overall process longer.
