Separation and joint ownership
Selling a Home During Divorce or Separation
When a jointly owned home needs to be sold, clarity and neutral communication matter. Joel can provide a direct proposal for both owners to consider alongside their independent legal advice.
Your circumstances
When this option may help.
- Both owners want a defined timescale
- A chain or repeated viewing process would add strain
- The property needs work before an ordinary sale
- You need a written figure to support wider discussions
The direct-sale approach
What happens next.
- 1
Agree who should be included in communications
- 2
Assess the home and relevant timescale

Share the same clear proposal with both owners
- 4
Proceed only when the legal owners and solicitors are ready
Before you decide
What to check before accepting an offer.
- All legal owners must agree to a sale.
