At Austen Jones Solicitors, we understand how emotionally and legally challenging property disputes can be—especially for cohabiting couples going through a separation.

One recent case involved a couple who jointly owned their home. When the relationship ended, our client wanted to sell the property, but their ex-partner refused. Legal proceedings were initiated and defended, but progress was slow. Finally, a week before the trial, the defendant agreed to sell.

However, the challenges didn’t end there. Title issues delayed the process, and despite valuers’ assessments, the defendant was unwilling to accept a reasonable price. They continued to live in the property, prolonging the dispute.

Determined to achieve a resolution for our client, we returned to court and secured an order for sale by auction. This ensured the property could finally be sold, allowing our client to move on with their life.

If you’re facing similar challenges or need legal advice regarding property disputes, contact Austen Jones Solicitors. We’re committed to finding practical solutions, no matter how complex the case.
