Selling a house on divorce
When selling a property due to divorce, sensitivity and experience are required. Many married couples have fulfilled their dream of owning their own house or apartment. However, few think about the question of what should happen to the property after a divorce in happy times. The most common reason for which apartments and houses are to be sold is a divorce. For the still-spouses, dealing with the divorce property is a very emotional matter.
Divorce: Special features of the sale of the house
When a house needs to be sold because of a divorce, numerous factors come into play: Alimony payments are offset against mortgage payments - very likely with the goal that the economically more capable partner will continue to make the loan payments.
Differing views on the value of the property can also lead to sharp disputes. The ex-partner who remains in the former family flat or house may estimate the value of the property to be lower and therefore claim defects, outstanding work or renovation arrears. The person who moves out and is therefore to be paid out naturally has a completely different opinion on this.
