As part of our divorce agreement, we have to sell the family home that I currently live in with my young DD. We’ve received an offer that we’ve accepted, it’s around £3k less than I had hoped for. The property had been on the market for 6 months, and this is the first offer we’ve received. I was anxious that we might not get any others, so I accepted. We’ve only had about 5 viewings as well.
Another reason I accepted is that the mortgage term is coming to an end in September next year, and I was worried we might not receive any other offers before then. However, I’m starting to realise I may have made a mistake because the two properties I was interested in received better offers than mine and are now in the process of being sold.
I keep looking on Rightmove, but there aren’t any suitable properties being listed. It looks like I may have to rent if the sale goes through.
I’m secretly hoping the sale falls through on the buyer’s side, because if I do anything to delay it, my ex might take me to court for breaching the consent order.
