Purchasing a house

[Nonsense10]

I am purchasing a house from my parents. Only my dad is on the deed of the house, I believe legally he is the only homeowner as he is the only one on the deeds.

My parents are divorcing and it has been shared that my mum has stated that she does not agree that the "house is transferred into daughter's name".

Firstly, it will be a transfer via purchase. This is being done through solicitors, albeit a private sale.

Can she stop my dad from selling the house to me? It is being purchased for full market value, minus estate agent fees. I have just had a valuation done on the house, and once my mortgage is approved I have broker fees to pay!

Your mum is entitled to at least 50% of the assets including the house. She has the option to buy him out of his share and stay living in it.

He might own it on paper but it's almost certainly a marital asset for the divorce.

Why on earth are you getting in the middle of this?

The house is the size I need, at the right price, in the right place. She will be getting half of value, that hasn't been the issue. She can't afford to buy him out, she has already stated she wants to buy a house outright.

She just doesn't want me to buy it.

How can the house be sold if it's part of an ongoing divorce process where it will clearly be considered a marital asset regardless of who is on the deeds? Does your mum not want the house sold full stop or just not to you and, if so, why?
From the outside looking in, it's really fishy to be looking to sell anything before the terms of the divorce are finalised. Looks like mum is being pushed out, regardless of the 50% that she will be given (and which might not be enough for her to purchase again on her own I guess?) Does she want to stay in the house but can't afford to by herself?

Why not? She possibly could block the sale but I’d want it to go ahead to speed up the financial settlement. Does she see it as wanting a clean break and no memories? I get that too. Do you talk to her? Who shared her opinion? Your dad? Are you a daddy’s girl?

She doesn't want to stay in the house, she wants her own little house.

She was incredibly abusive and controlling whilst I was growing up and early adulthood.

No I'm not a "daddy's girl".

The divorce was paused in November purely so that I was able to purchase the house. It waa agreed I could buy it and now she just doesn't want it sold to me.

Sometimes any adult residing in the house is required to sign a deed of release. She may be referring to that.
