They didn't put 50% of the share of the house on the market they put 100% of the house and I happened to see it on the internet otherwise I would never have known that it was for sale.
I agree the house does need to be sold but surely I should have been asked or at least informed before it was put on the market?

If you are listed as a part owner the sale cannot go through without your consent. It is a bit high handed for them to try this. If you refusr to agree to a sale they can of course go to the Circuit Court and apply for an order to sell. This will cost you all money and will take a few years to go to court.
I suggest a solicitors letter to them clarifying your position. As you are not speaking the solicitor can negotiate with their solicitor.
The best thing to do in my opinion is sell and walk away. I am not a great believer in this bullshit about family bonds when they treat each other badly
I would also add that as you own 5/8ths i.e. a majority you should if needed have the decision in absence of an agreement to nominate the estate agent, solicitor etc who will handle the sale. They could always insist on having a solicitor to be involved but would be liable for his fee.
Like you they also have a veto on the sale and could delay a sale in which case you would have to go to court to get anorder to sell
...You've said it needs to be sold so what exactly is your issue?...
My Mother died last year and my brother and I are executors of my Mum's share of the house. My other sister and brother are executor of my Dads' share who is dead 10 years. There was a separation and my Dad was allowed to live in the house until death and then my Mum if that makes sense. My Dad left his share divided between the four of us. My Mum left me her share so I own 5/8 My sister and brother have put the house on the market without letting me know (they are not talking to me over my Mum's will) and my Brother who is co-executor with me of my Mum's will (50%) actually put it on with the estate agent and again didn't let me know (he is not talking to me either).
How else are they going to realise their 1/8 valuation each without selling it? You can buy the house yourself if this is what you want and then they get the 3/8 money and you get the house.
It would be simpler if you all could agree on the value of the house and then you pay each 1/8th, but if you are not talking selling seems to be the fairest.
