What's the process with solicitor to force the sale of the house?

[PPaka]

Can anyone tell me?
I have a solicitor but I have no money to pay her, so would like to know what it involves

How about suggesting to your solicitor that, once the sale is agreed, she can take her fee out of your share of the proceeds?

You have to go to court for the judge to make an order to force sale, so that the property can be listed 'For Sale'.

You then have the risk that an arsewipe will do everything to sabotage the sale/reduce sale price out of spite.

It isn't a quick process getting the order. The sale depends on a lot of things. Good luck.

I bought a house that was forced sale but I didn't find out till after exchange that this was the case. The court had some valuations done and a price was agreed. Meaning that any offer of that amount or higher had to be accepted.

It's difficult to tell if we paid the full market value as we bought in 2009 when lots of prices were dropping and it was almost impossible to get a mortgage.

My DP had something similar.

You have to go to court for a judge to order a sale, before that valuations have to be done by estate agents and the % of profits has to be allocated. It is not a quick process and can be stalled many times by the other party.

If you get an offer and the other owner refuses to sell a judge can sign on your behalf for the house to be sold.

The solicitor we had took payment after (DP's ex bought him out) he got his share of the profit.

It took 2 years for us but was stalled a few times. We wasted a lot of time and money sending letters back and forth between solicitors with a lot of "he said, she said" stuff, total waste of time.
