buying ex out

[Euge Griffin]

my ex wife and new partner have offered me a low price to buy out my share of our property. I think it is too low and have offered them a bit more to buy them out. Can this bidding go on, can one be forced to accept eventually? The court has ordered the house to be sold.

Can't you have the house valued and one person either has to give the other that amount or you sell it to someone else and split the money?

Get three valuations and agree on one with your ex wife. Then if they want to buy you out, they have to pay 50% of the value less the mortgage. Don't be browbeaten like I was - you'll regret it later! You're entitled to half the profit.

The house has been valued and a % agreed, however she is making viewings difficult and it is just not selling. That is why she is going to try to buy me out at a low offer. I will also do the same, but she is living in the house and she is very controlling.

[Kuntrovert]

don't give in to her. don't settle for less than the
value of the property.

Stick it out with her - controlling or not! As the other person said if you don't you will regret it, like I did. People like her make me sick, they have it all - she has her new partner (poor sod) so why can't she be fair to you? PPLLEEAASSEE stick it out, don't end up without your fair share.
