Divorcing and selling property? Discover how Fraser Bond supports a smooth, strategic sale that aligns with your financial and legal needs.

Introduction

Selling property during a divorce is not just a financial decision—it’s a deeply personal one that requires careful planning, legal compliance, and emotional sensitivity. Whether you’re selling the marital home or jointly owned investment properties, the process can be complicated by disagreements, time pressure, or unclear legal responsibilities. At Fraser Bond, we specialise in helping clients sell property during divorce with professionalism, neutrality, and market intelligence, ensuring a smoother path to financial resolution.


Why Selling Property During Divorce Requires Expertise

In a typical property transaction, both parties work towards a shared goal. In divorce, those goals may be misaligned or emotionally charged. Common challenges include:

  • Disagreements over price, timing, or sale conditions

  • Legal complexities surrounding ownership and consent

  • Financial implications tied to mortgages, taxes, or buyouts

  • Emotional attachment to the home or concerns about children

Without professional guidance, these factors can delay the sale, reduce the property’s value, or lead to post-divorce disputes.


The Key Steps to Selling Property in a Divorce

1. Get an Independent Property Valuation

Before any decisions are made, both parties should agree on a professional, market-based valuation. Fraser Bond offers:

  • RICS-compliant, independent valuations

  • Reports suitable for consent orders, mediation, or court proceedings

  • Accurate insight into market conditions and sale potential

2. Agree on Terms of Sale

Depending on the divorce settlement or consent order, you may need to:

  • Sell the property and split proceeds

  • Allow one party to buy out the other’s share

  • Delay sale until a future event (e.g., child’s graduation or refinancing)

Fraser Bond assists in structuring sale agreements that align with both legal and practical requirements.

3. Coordinate with Legal and Financial Professionals

We collaborate with:

  • Solicitors to ensure the sale process complies with divorce terms

  • Mortgage lenders to manage redemption or refinancing

  • Financial advisors to help clients invest sale proceeds or manage equity division

4. Manage the Sale Discreetly and Efficiently

Fraser Bond offers:

  • Discreet marketing for high-value or sensitive transactions

  • Access to motivated buyers, including off-market investors

  • Professional sale negotiation and timeline management

  • Optional lettings support if needed as an interim step


When Is the Right Time to Sell?

Timing depends on legal, financial, and emotional factors. Many couples choose to sell:

  • Before the divorce is finalised to liquidate shared assets

  • After a financial order has been agreed

  • When refinancing is not viable for a buyout

  • To fund relocation or pay off shared debts

Whatever the timeline, our role is to support a structured, fair, and market-optimised sale.
