Sell property easily and quickly for your divorce
21-Jan-2008
The family home is often the centre of many disagreements when couples are separating or divorcing. It can be particularly difficult if children are involved, as it's often preferable for them to stay in the home they know. In most cases, however, it is necessary to sell the property in order to finalise the financial settlement – and that's where getting a faster sale can make things easier.
Sell property with less hassle
Most of us would choose to sell our property though an estate agent. This is certainly likely to produce the most money, but could also take a considerable time to complete, particularly if you are in a house chain which falls apart, or if the agents can't find enough people to view your home and put in offers. The longer it takes, the more stressful it is, and you may be wishing for a way to sell property without the potential trouble. Here's how you can:
• Contact a dedicated company – independent property companies are becoming increasingly common, offering a real alternative to estate agencies. Buying your house directly from you, this method offers you a guaranteed price and a guaranteed timescale, which allows you to make the rest of your plans with confidence. Selling this way is cash-based and you will get a valuation that is between 70 and 85% of your home's market value.
• Ask about renting back – because it may be important to you to stay in your home, you can ask about renting it back once you've sold. Less complicated than one partner buying the other one out, this lets you realise the value of your home whilst allowing you and your children to stay in the home you know and love.
• Buy back – it may even be possible for you to buy back your home in the future. Once you've rented for a while and found your feet, or even met a new partner, you may want to buy back your property so that you are a homeowner again.
