STBX obstructing house sale

2 replies

Sepparated a few months ago and I moved out as relationships were very very bad and volatile.

STBX immediately taken the view that the house is now "his" and I should under no circumstances be going there. It is a joint mortgage joint tenants.

He dragged his heels initially saying he would buy me out but never doing anything about it. Eventually got it on the market.

The few occasions I have visited to check for mail etc he has taken huge issue, and I have had a phone call from the estate agents this morning stating he has left the chain on the door so they are unable to carry out a viewing.
This would have taken thought as he would have left via back door so not an accident.

I am not in as good of a position financially as him as he knows this, and am very much stuck until the house is sold. Mortgage payments are a substantial amount of my wages as opposed to his (before we separated they came out of a joint bank account)

This is all following threats from him and his family throughout our marriage and since the split that they will financially ruin me, so I'm sure it's all been done with malicious intent.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Thanks

Have you got a solicitor? If not, I would get one. I know it is expensive but it is so worth it. But ask around for a recommendation if you can, my first one was shit but my second one was much better.

Go in the back door and release the chain for the estate agent. It is still your home too until it is either sold or your name is off the deeds.
