ex partner, house sale trouble any ideas what I can do??

Question

I split up with my ex over three months ago and up and til 6 weeks ago (except for issues with him paying the mortgage which have been resolved by his father paying it) its was going well, It got sold subject to contract within a week of going on the market but now he won't sign the solicitors paperwork, originally he was going to sign the paperwork and post it to me to sign, this never happened so I spoke to the solicitor and he sent me copies to fill out which I did and sent back. I went over to the flat on Friday for the first time in 2 months to see if I could get him to sign it and he wasnt there, the flat looks like it hasnt been cleaned since I moved out and it stinks, mold growing on plates, the buyers wanted to pop round with their mother to show her it on Saturday and I had to put them off, they already had to cancel the tree sergeon as they couldnt contact him. The phone has been cut off & bills are not being paid. He isnt responding to me the solicitors or estate agents!

Also his father is having as much trouble as I am contacting him as I am,

Also I was seriously considering going there next weekend and getting everything I brought, which is everything from the kettle to the sofa, (except for the bed and tv, all of which he's abusing and not looking after, the sofa's going to have to go to the tip cuz he's wrecked it) I supposed at least if there is nothing in there there is nothing to make a mess of, what do you think? I know this sounds mean but the state of the place really tramatised me and it made me realised how much hes screwed me over in the past and I hate to think of all the stuff I brought and looked after for years being destroyed by him.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!! He's finally signed it, had a big push went round there put notes everywhere (he wasnt there) and put it on a chair by the door, rang his father twice and he chased him, solicitor chased him and FINALLY things are starting to move with the house sale so *fingers crossed* will be exchanged and completed within a few months (as shorter time as possible hopefully) WOOOOOO!!!

Talk to your solicitor. It's difficult to get it resolved if he can't be contacted. Looks like he's burying his head in the sand and refuse to confront the fact that you have moved our and he's about to be turved out!

It relies upon whose call(s) is/are on the deed. while you're the two on it, you have not have been given any problems even in spite of the shown fact that, you may communicate your X and her new BF into buying it from you (finding out to purchase your share), even at a "deep less expensive" fee because of the fact in this economic device, in case you get an criminal expert in touch, you will probable loose any income you ought to be finding at now to the criminal expert in expenditures. remember additionally that for the time of the journey that your call is on the deed and additionally you do no longer stay there, for despite altruistic reason, and your X and different trash the region, you're nevertheless in charge for the trashing. And in case you come back with the aid of later and fasten the completed ingredient as much as sell (at your fee), your X continues to be entitled to 0.5 the proceeds. i comprehend it sucks yet it extremely is one extremely stable reason to no longer get too friendly (in case you comprehend what I propose) with people before you get to nicely known them thoroughly.
