Property matters

Legal advice in dividing money and property

When a relationship breaks down, one of the most important and immediate questions often concerns the house. Furthermore, this is an issue because more people than ever before now own a second home or an investment property.

Hodge Jones & Allen have experienced and qualified solicitors who will help you get to keep what is yours when your relationship breaks down.

Ownership rights

Your ownership rights may well be documented on the agreement made between you when you bought the property. But perhaps this wasn’t ever clarified? Perhaps things have changed over time, for example you have been paying the lion’s share of the mortgage since your partner lost their job, or you have paid for significant improvements to the property, or you have had children together since the property was bought?

If you are having trouble agreeing how to divide your property fairly, then our experienced family and property lawyers at Hodge Jones & Allen can help you negotiate an effective solution.

We can advise you with the following:

assess documented evidence of ownership rights
negotiate with your ex-partner and argue your case
apply for a Court Order to enforce the sale of the property
represent the interests of children in relation to the family home
