A co-ownership dispute occurs when two or more people who jointly own a property disagree about ownership rights, financial contributions, or how the property should be managed or sold.
Many shared ownership disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation between the parties. If an agreement cannot be reached, the court may determine ownership rights or order the sale of the property.
If one owner wishes to sell but the other does not, legal action may be required to determine whether the property should be sold or whether another solution is appropriate.
In some circumstances, a co-owner can apply to court to request an order for the property to be sold. The court will consider several factors before making a decision.
Legal advice is strongly recommended for joint property ownership disputes, as a solicitor can help protect your interests and guide you through negotiation or legal proceedings.
