It’s no secret that in a good handful of divorces, partners aren’t what you’d call on the best of terms, hence why selling your property after divorce could be a better option.

After divorce, typically the heat of the situation has begun to fade. With less emotions at play, you can often reach a resolution faster and usually in a less stressful manner. Why? Because you’ve both had the time to some extent unpick the connection you previously shared. So when it comes to negotiating who gets what, that’s no longer clouding your vision.

Contrary to what your local estate agent will tell you, NOW is not always the best time to sell.

If selling your house before divorce would mean it’s sat on the market receiving very little interest because demand is low, then waiting until after divorce probably wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Heck, even if prices dipped, you’d probably end up achieving pretty much the same price, providing it triggers an increase in demand. But how? Well, the reality is that buyers want what’s hot. So if your property’s not receiving any interest and been on the market a while, in their eyes it’s only worth a cheeky lowball offer.

But ultimately it’s up to you to assess whether this would be a viable strategy.
