A rather surprising side effect of the current economic slowdown is that the numbers of couples getting divorced has dropped by about 3%. It seems that people who would like to sell the family home and move on to a new life find they can’t sell and therefore can’t divide up their assets.
It’s not known how many couples are affected; regardless of what the economy is doing it’s always difficult to sort out fundamental truths about relationship breakdowns from the mass of statistics. But however we look at it, the fact is that many people getting married today will not spend the rest of their lives together. The peak age for divorce remains the late twenties – a time when career and family start to make demands and, perhaps, when people drift apart in order in an attempt to fulfil their goals.
Regardless of the causes or numbers of divorce in this country, every one of the statistics hides a relationship breakdown that is almost always accompanied by pain and unhappiness. For the unfortunate few who find themselves in a broken relationship yet trapped within the same four walls as their partner, the situation must be intolerable. Re-establishing boundaries and re-creating a new life are both important parts of getting back on solid ground, emotionally, following a divorce, and it must be almost impossible to do either when your former partner is present on a daily basis.
In a market where homes simply aren’t moving off the estate agents’ books, is there anything that couples can do to move their situation forward? Property Rescue offers a service whereby they guarantee to make an offer for any property, in any condition, in any location throughout England and Wales. If the sellers accept that offer, the sale will go ahead quickly without any risk of it failing at a later stage.
The amount Property Rescue offers will be below the market value, but with house prices continually falling, this is not always a significant factor. Moving out of the family home, dividing up the assets and moving on are often the most important considerations. Selling your home fast through Property Rescue offers other money saving incentives such as no estate agent fees, no Home Information Pack preparation and the regular legal costs on the sale are included.
If you are feeling trapped by the property crisis and an emotionally fraught relationship, give Property Rescue a call. They will talk to both you and your ex partner – individually if you wish – so that you can get all the information you need to make your decisions. Give them a call today and talk to one of their advisers in complete confidence.
