Ex has given instructions for his solicitor to issue court proceedings for force of sale of the house we both owned as tenants in common and which he moved out years ago.
I have a re-mortgage arranged, as well as contract and correspondence between us to say that I have the cash to buy him out in exchange for giving me sole ownership. But he is still persistent in going ahead probably due to me responding a week late of the deadline.
As it has taken me so long to get myself in a financial position to buy him out and for both of us to come to an agreed amount, he could argue that I have been delaying the process. I am still trying to persuade him to try and settle it out of court but I think it will be futile.
I have signed all paperwork for the transfer of equity and the mortgage lender's solicitors handling it all has notified me that they have not received any of the ex's paperwork. So it could be argued that as he hasn't submitted any paperwork, he is also responsible for the delay.
Do you think the court will still force a sale? What do you think the outcome will be?
