Such right is derived from the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. \r\n\r\nWhen considering your application, the court will look at a variety of factors, including the intentions of the parties, the purpose of the property and the impact of any sale. Therefore, the welfare of your daughter will be a big consideration of the court as she is a minor. \r\n\r\nThere are a variety of orders which the court can make, including making an order for sale, attaching terms and conditions to the sale such as postponing it until a certain event, and making judgments on how to divide the net proceeds of sale if the court considers it appropriate to account for any contributions made towards the property by a party who has not enjoyed the occupation of the property. \r\n\r\nGiven the varying factors which can influence the court, we recommend seeking legal advice before pursuing with your claim. \r\n\r\nMartha Holland","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Martha Holland","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/staging.london-law.co.uk\/cohabitees-forcing-sale-children\/#Comment8","dateCreated":"2022-09-15 17:16:38","description":"Hi myself and my ex split up a year ago we have a property together owned as tenants in common.

In addition, it is important to ascertain the date the Section 21 Notice was served to ensure it is has not expired.\r\n\r\nAlternatively, in the event the above steps were not taken, then it is likely that the tenant\u2019s position is correct and that you may have a claim against your agents in professional negligence.\r\n\r\nObviously we would need to see all of the papers before we could fully advise and I\u2019d be happy to look at the same should you wish to contact me at peter@london-law.co.uk\r\n\r\nPeter Johnson\r\nSenior Partner","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Peter Johnson","url":""}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/staging.london-law.co.uk\/section-21-tenancy-possession-gas-safety\/#Comment2","dateCreated":"2023-10-02 18:00:54","description":"Hi \r\nMy agent Dexters seems that they did not include the gas certificate at time of the tenancy in 2019.

The Deed of Renunciation is effective from the date that it is signed. If there are other executors named in the will, they will act in the role without the renouncing executor; likewise, there may be substitute executors appointed who can then act. Alternatively the remaining son can act formally as executor and you can assist.
