How a separated couple sold their home in less than 7 days

After 12 years together, Sarah and Mark decided to separate. They jointly owned a home but neither wanted to stay in it, and working together through an agent felt emotionally draining. Selling the house quickly was key to finalising their separation and starting fresh. Both of them needed the funds to secure their next accommodation and move on independently.

A sale process that avoided joint meetings or constant back-and-forth.
A fair offer with clear terms they could agree on separately.
A way to avoid viewings and estate agent negotiations.
A clean, simple handover that allowed them to split funds and move on.
A fast solution to free up their funds.

One party submitted the details and handled initial communication.
Both owners approved the offer independently.
No viewings or repairs were required.
Sale completed in 6 days of agreed purchase price.
Funds split evenly into separate accounts.
No estate agent involvement or delays.

This is an example scenario based on real situations that we regularly help with.

Selling your property after divorce FAQs

Do both parties have to agree to sell the home?

Yes. If the property is jointly owned, all legal owners must agree to the sale before we can proceed. If one person starts the process, we can handle communication with the other party separately.

Can the funds be split between separate accounts?

Yes. We can distribute the money however you prefer — into separate bank accounts or through your solicitor. Just let us know your instructions.

What if we’re not on speaking terms?

That’s very common. We’re experienced in working with separating couples and can manage all communication independently to avoid unnecessary stress.

Can we choose the sale date to match our timeline?

Yes. Once you accept the offer, we can work with you to agree a completion date that suits both parties. Whether you need time to make arrangements or want to move quickly, we’ll fit around your needs.

Will we need to clean or prepare the property?

No. We purchase homes in any condition. There’s no need to tidy, repair or stage the property before selling.

What if only one person wants to sell?

We can prepare an offer and give you time to discuss it, but all owners must ultimately agree to complete the sale.
