It might be worth asking this in the legal section.

Really you need to seek legal advice, but apparently:

"The housing welfare of minor children are a paramount but not over riding consideration. It all depends on how much there is in the pot to pay for the future housing needs of the divorcing parties/spousal maintenance etc, but if a house has to be sold deferral may be extend to majority or end of higher education of a relevant child, but often its a case of the bigger share of the equity usually to the wife in return for a clean break provided they still have enough money to pay for a mortgage if one is needed. It's not a simple issue."

See:

It looks to me from that view, that you are looking at age 18 or the end of higher education of the children. No mention here of age 25 or when the children are "cured" or not.

I agree with seeking legal advice.

Mesher orders aren't favoured now other than very exceptional circumstances, a clean break is preferred.
