Divorce or separation

Sell the house when a relationship ends

Dividing a home is often emotional and slow on the open market, especially if one of you still lives there or maintenance was deferred.

Dividing a home is often emotional and slow on the open market, especially if one of you still lives there or maintenance was deferred.

A direct cash sale can give both parties a known figure to discuss with solicitors, though it will usually be below a patient open-market sale.

We buy in our patch only. We are not family lawyers; any settlement must follow advice from your solicitor about transferring equity and court orders.

How it works with us

  1. 1

    Confirm who can instruct a sale

    Both owners may need to agree. We ask who will sign paperwork and whether a consent order is pending.

  2. 2

    Neutral visit

    We inspect once with access arranged. We do not take sides on valuations; we explain our cash offer logic clearly.

  3. 3

    Written offer for your advisers

    You can share our letter with mediators or solicitors. Acceptance should align with any financial remedy process you are in.

  4. 4

    Completion and proceeds

    Solicitors handle net proceeds according to your agreement or order. We complete when searches and title work allow, typically weeks not days unless files are simple.

Honest comparison

Every route has trade-offs. Cash offers from Wynne Estates are usually below open-market value; we set that out before you choose.

Estate agent

Pros

  • May maximise price if you can wait and cooperate on viewings

  • Chain risk while finances are unresolved
  • Commission reduces the pot to split

Auction

Pros

  • Fixed timetable
  • Investor buyers used to tenanted or tired homes

  • Uncertain sale price on the day
  • Both parties must still agree reserve and instructions

Wynne Estates

Pros

  • One buyer, one visit, written offer both can review
  • Buy as-is if maintenance was argued over
  • No onward chain on our purchase

Cons

  • Below-market cash offer
  • Both legal owners must cooperate on signing
  • Not suitable if a court order mandates open marketing

Timescales (conditions apply)

  • Agreeing to explore a cash sale

    This is often the slowest step. We wait until both parties are comfortable receiving an offer.

  • Conveyancing

    We aim to complete as quickly as the solicitors and searches allow. We'll give you a realistic date once both conveyancers have reviewed the file.

If our visit shows more work or issues than we expected, we may revise the written offer and explain the change before you decide whether to accept.

FAQ

Can one of us instruct you alone?

Usually both registered owners must agree to sell. Your solicitor will confirm if a court order changes that.

Will you buy if we are still living there?

We can visit while one party remains, but completion dates need to work for move-out plans agreed with your advisers.

How do you split the offer?

We pay solicitors on completion; they distribute funds per your agreement. We do not mediate the split.
