Hi Marlon
you may want to change the title of your thread to make it more identifiable to other posters. You are more likely to get better responses that way.
All the best
We wil not pay him more than its worth and are willing to sell it if he thinks our offer of 195,000 isnt enough. Can he prevent the sale??
... Now, Dad died in June so, thanks to PadraigB we know he has untill this June to get his act together or else it looks like it will be court...
I am not a specialist in this area. It just happens that I was aware of that bit of the legislation. But I don't think the court would be in a hurry to hear a case on the first anniversary of death, and I would be concerned about the potential costs.
My thinking was that you might use the expectation in the law as a sabre to rattle, that it might persuade your brother to act more quickly.
If he comes back to me with a higher valuation than mine I will quite happily say to him "if you think thats a fair price, you can give half lf that to me".
He will do anything to keep it on the long finger whereas my partner and me are expecting another child in June (he is aware of this and aware of the fact we have a 2 year old and obviously doesnt give a damn) and really want our lives sorted out by then
Why wait? If you are happy with the valuation you have given him, why not simply offer him the choice between buying you out or being bought out by you at that figure?
His father died in June. That was just over 6 months ago. People handle bereavement in different ways. What you say may well be true, but perhaps he is still grieving and not really able to deal sensibly with property decisions. Or perhaps he is just immature - and that is (kinda) ok too, or at least it is if he is young.
He will still be your brother in 40 years time. Would you not cut the guy a bit of slack, just on the off chance that he isn't actually hell bent on deliberately making your life awkward?.
