She refuses to sell house

Thanks very much for this very helpful.

How are you getting on with this Mark?

This is one of the most outrageous stories I have ever read on here!!!

You've had some good advice from others on what you could do as a next step. - But why isn't your solicitor advising you of these options?

Another option to consider/look into....

Could you just announce that you are moving back in? It is a house that you paid for. Why should a new boyfriend get to live there if you can't?? There may well be legalities which prevent you from doing so - but it is certainly something that I would look into.

Let us know how you are getting on...

Not going well. Taking so long. They are now saying I have to for "mediation" AGAIN regarding this. Had already done this before she refused to sign.

You do need a mediator to sign to say mediation has failed or is not suitable. This is only valid for 4 months. It doesn't take long to sort out a mediation appointment. You should go and take Form.A with you to get it signed if she doesn't turn up.

Form A is what you use to apply to the court for financial settlement.

There is a cost for doing this but in the long run it could save you money.

Thanks everyone for all your help. Will take this new advice and see what it brings. Mark

Good luck Mark
