Just looking for some information to help my siblings. My parents are joint owners of a 5 room flat; parents have divorced for more 15 years and we have stayed in that house since then as my father did not sell the house. However, now he is intending to sell the house and my siblings need advice how they can proceed from here. My father intends to sell the house as soon as possible but my mother won't let it happen and does not want to do anything about it. Hence, my siblings are running out of time and options. All siblings are below 35 and not married,

Not sure what my mother intends to do about it, my siblings will still need a place to stay eventually. Any advice will be helpful.

Legally speaking, both owners of this 5room flat needs to ink their signature on the Option To Purchase to effect the sale, therefore if your mum has no intentions to sell, the only legal channel your dad has is to apply for court order to enforce the sale.

We are in no position to advise on family disputes therefore the way out is to resolve it via proper discussion.

Hi,

1) Your parents should have bought this flat under public scheme; meaning either under Joint-Tenancy or Tenancy-in-common.
Joint tenancy means that each will receive 50-50 each
Tenancy-In-Common means dependent on the amount of share each hold.
But in the past, most would have selected Joint Tenancy since when 50-50 ownership is mentioned it is easier to understand by then, though there are some exception.

2) Thus if this is sold, both will receive 50% of the sales proceed.

3) Your father can only force sale by applying through court since your mother has no intention to do anything about it.
Everything stays put until your father acts on it legally.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards
