Moving Forward: Selling Your Home Due to a Divorce
Selling a home can be challenging at the best of times.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
