Hi,
My partner, we were not married, but had a house in joint names, and have a son together, went to court in January this year for force of sale. My oldest son from another marriage wanted to buy the property, and was given until February to do so. Unfortunately he could not get his finances until the 27th March, and so the house was put on the market.
On the 27th of March he put in an offer for the first valuation fee, my partner rejected the offer. He then put in two further offers way above the valuation fee, these were rejected too. In the meanwhile I accepted the offers, and considered the house sold. My partner took me back to court saying that I had not let the estate agents in, which I had not, after they had done valuations etc, because I considered the house sold.
The judge advised us to negotiate and if no offer was accepted within 14 days then the house would go up for auction. My partner's solicitors have evaded my solicitor, and not answered to any further offers, the last offer being £40,000 over the valuation price of the property. My partner is threatening to take out a court order for my removal fro the property.
The reason my partner is not in the property is that he committed domestic violence on me, was physically, mentally, emotionally and financially abusive. When I asked him to leave he stopped paying the mortgage and took all the money from the business I helped him build, (my name not being on this), saying that unless i had him back he would get me evicted from the property. I have proof of his abuse as i went to Splitz and the police have records too.
At first I paid half of the mortgage, then the full amount, but he had took us into arrears by not paying and leaving me struggling financially. So now it seems that my solicitor has not helped me stop this man from yet again financially abusing me by getting his own way of getting me out of the property and taking it to auction where we will get a lot less than my son's private offer. How can this be? I thought that assets were protected by the law? Is there anything i can do? Or do I just stand by and allow him to sell the house for a lot less at auction?
The property is in disrepair, (thanks to his total lack of responsibility and control over family finance), and we are expected to get not much over £180,000 at auction. The offer from my son, with proof, was £220,000.
Thanks.
