A New Chapter: Selling Your Home following a Divorce

Selling a home can be challenging at the best of times.

A New Chapter: Selling Your Home following a Divorce
However, a move due to divorce or separation can be more stressful, given the emotions involved.

Below are six tips, based on our agency’s experience, to help people selling due to a relationship break-up.

1)    It’s good to talk: Both parties need to be clear and honest with each other. It helps in making joint decisions about the sale and can prevent misunderstandings.

2)    Choose the right estate agent: Working with an understanding and experienced estate agent can ease the process. They can act as a neutral party and provide expert advice.

3)    Agree on the details: Deciding on aspects like the asking price, sale timeline and division of proceeds upfront can prevent conflicts later. Legal advice might be necessary to ensure fairness.

4)    Prepare the property: Do your best to present your home in its best light for a quick sale at the best possible price. This might involve decluttering, repairs or staging.

5)    Consider your next steps: Prepare for the next chapter in your life. Whether finding a new home or managing finances, having a plan can provide a sense of clarity and direction during this transitional period.

6)    Support networks: Don’t hesitate to seek emotional support from friends, family or professionals. Selling a home due to divorce is not just a financial transaction but also a life-changing event.

By approaching the sale with mutual respect, clear communication and professional guidance, you can navigate this challenging time more effectively, paving the way for a new beginning for both parties.

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
