Fraser Bond supports divorce settlements with expert property valuations, equity analysis, and strategic advice for fair division.

Introduction

Dividing property during divorce is one of the most significant and sensitive aspects of financial settlement. From the family home to investment properties and joint portfolios, real estate assets often carry high financial value and emotional weight.

A successful divorce property settlement requires more than legal input — it demands accurate valuations, clear documentation, and strategic guidance. Fraser Bond provides specialist real estate services to help individuals, solicitors, and mediators reach fair, informed agreements that protect both wealth and peace of mind.


What Is a Property Settlement in Divorce?

A divorce property settlement is the legal and financial process of dividing property assets between spouses or civil partners following a separation. In the UK, there is no set formula — instead, the court seeks a fair outcome, considering:

  • Ownership and legal title

  • Financial and non-financial contributions

  • The needs of both parties

  • The presence of children

  • Future earning potential and housing requirements

Real estate is typically central to these settlements — and without proper valuation and classification, financial settlements may be unfair or open to challenge.


Common Property Assets Involved in Settlements

  1. The Matrimonial Home

    • Often the most valuable shared asset

    • May be sold, transferred, or retained by one party with a buyout

  2. Rental Properties

    • Income-generating assets

    • Settlement terms may involve division or offset against other assets

  3. Commercial Property

    • Often held in companies or partnerships

    • Requires valuation of equity and cash flow

  4. Inherited or Gifted Property

    • May be excluded, partially excluded, or ring-fenced by a prenup or postnup

  5. Property Held in Trust or SPVs

    • Requires deeper analysis of beneficial ownership and legal control
