Lawyer explains how to sell a property even if ex-spouse has right of use
A solicitor specialising in divorce clarifies that it is possible to sell the shared home after separation even if the ex-partner has the right of use, although legal complications exist.
The family home frequently becomes one of the main sources of conflict after a divorce, especially when one of the ex-spouses retains the right of use whilst the other maintains ownership.
Laura Lobo, a solicitor specialising in family law, explains that it is legally possible to proceed with the sale of the property even though the ex-spouse has been assigned the right of use. However, she warns that there is “a problem” which complicates this process.
The complexity lies in finding buyers willing to purchase a property with an occupant who retains rights of use, which significantly reduces the potential market and may affect the sale price.
This situation generates additional tensions between former couples and requires specialised legal advice to properly manage the rights of both parties and the financial implications of the transaction.
