Living together as husband won’t agree to put house on market

[Maze76]

Just as the title says really.
Husband has been stringing me along about reconciling for the past year. I’ve had enough and just want to sell up and split.
For context I won’t agree to a buy out, this is / was my first home and I refuse to have his mistress living in it, touching my things etc.
His ‘offer’ is for me to rent somewhere while he pays the bills and mortgage in our home, but I really just want to split and move on.
Is there anyway I can force him to sell up?
He is also refusing to start divorce proceedings, which I’m not overly bothered about, I just want to sell up and move on.

You’ll only be able to force a sale through divorce proceedings and the financial agreements

Even then though a court may not force the sale if he can afford to buy you out and the overall settlement stacks up

Thanks for replying.
He can’t afford to buy me out, hence his suggestion that he maintain the house mortgage etc and I go live n a flat somewhere.

Don't let him take the piss like this. You can start divorce proceedings online yourself without a solicitor. You may need a solicitor for the clean break order, around £800 but most of it can be done online and he doesn't get a choice in how it pans out.

Not clear from your OP if you are joint owners? If you are you can get an order for Sale. If you get a solicitor fir that you might as well commence divorce proceedings. If he is not a joint owner then he is a lodger and you can service notice on him to leave

Hi , Thank you for replying, yes we are joint owners.

Great, thank you.

I would refuse to move out myself, the person who moves out has less power than the person who stays. Can he move out if he wants to be with his mistress and push forward with proceedings on the basis that the house will be sold. We sold before we'd got divorced and just split the money as part of the consent order, it worked really well.
