If a house in the UK has an order for sale how long can pass before the house HAS to be put up for sale?
I co-own a house with my brothers and sisters. An order for sale was issued in February 2010- should the house have been sold by now?
Actually I was living in the house and my siblings got the order issued so that I woudl be evicted from the house. I was sure they had to sell the house pretty soon after the order. But so far they havent done anything to sell the property. What is the legal stand point now? Are they contravining the order since they have not tried to sell the house? Plus what can I do in order to get the house sold as quickly as possible? I talked to their lawyer but he claims he no longer has responsibilty for what happens with the house (he also wants to charge me for telling me that). This whole situation is so annoying. Detailed advice would be greatly appreciarted!!!!
To alfthegardener: I was living in the house with the permission of my siblings. They decided they wanted to sell it- I said no. So they applied and were granted an Order of Sale for the property. The OfS was granted in February 2010 but they have made no efforts to see the property. I want to know where this leaves me now, as I want the house to be sold in accordance with the OfS. Any ideas on my next move?
