Selling a house but keeping the garage

Hi all, my husband put our property on the market last week, so far we have 2 viewings booked.

He’s now decided he wants the garage and to sell the house without it.

Obviously we’ll have to appoint a solicitor and tell the estate agent to remove from the listing but can anyone else advise what else is involved in this process? I have argued it’s going to hurt our sale but at this moment in time he doesn’t want to buy the next house without one (or build one)

Any advice?

Easy done just need to get it done properly might cost a bit in legal fee though.
But it will always have a value to rent out or sell. It will reduce the price/saleability of your house.

many mortgage companies don’t jump to it you mean your mortgage lender didn’t jump to it? Because you have dealt with this once, as you said upthread. So can’t possibly know how other lenders deal with it. Mortgage lenders are only interested in recovering their debt, which provided the sale proceeds to this, they will.

Hmm

@LetMeOut2021 you are, of course, completely correct. (Although if there are different title numbers for house and garage the whole thing is a non-event, pity@Greenqueen203 didn't check that first). Arguing with@Bluntness100 is a bit pointless, like all clients who've experienced something as a client, they assume that the way it happened for them is the way it always happensHmm.

I can’t see any nasty comments, don’t be so sensitive.

No doubt they are on separate titles anyway and the debate wasted Grin

I just get so frustrated when you’re trying to be helpful and people argue! Though I get equally frustrating at not just phoning a pro in the first place.

Why not just buy a house with a garage?
