I share my home with my daughter, who is 21 years old. I want to
sell my house and move to the West Country, but my daughter is
unhappy and she is threatening to block the sale. Can she do
that?
Your question does not specify whether your daughter owns any
part of the equity of the house, or whether she is just an
occupier.
If your daughter actually owns a share of the house, whether in
equity or beneficial interest, you cannot sell the property without
her consent. If you are adamant that you need to sell the house,
you could go to court and obtain a court order which would order
that your daughter sell the house with you, if the court deems it
to be in your best interests and reasonable for your daughter.
