What can I do if my ex doesn't want to sell the apartment?


1. I have a shared property with my ex-partner, but he doesn't want to sell. Is there anything I can do about it?

Yes , but it depends on the legal situation. If your ex-partner has been assigned the right to use the property as a family home (for example, if the children live there), you will not be able to force the sale until this right ceases to have effect (for example, if they move in with a new partner).


2. What if there is no right of use attributed?

In this case, although you cannot force him to sell directly, you can initiate a legal process to extinguish the co-ownership (known as “condominium extinction”).


3. What exactly is a condominium termination?

It is a legal formula to end the shared ownership situation.
It allows:

  • One of the two buys the other's share.

  • Or the property can be sold and the profits distributed.

It is the most efficient and common option to resolve these cases.


4. Can we reach an agreement without going to court?

Yes, and it is the best option. If you agree, you can:

  • Sell the apartment to a third party.

  • Or one of you can buy the other's share.

To do this with guarantees, a precise assessment based on real data is needed.
👉 Start now atvaloragirona.com

Immogirona carries out the assessments using an exclusive combination of:

  • 170,000 real sales registered in the province of Girona

  • 126,000 active ads on the main real estate portals

  • Own and internal database , with knowledge localized by areas and neighborhoods

🏠 After the online valuation , we offer you a free, no-obligation in-person visit to confirm the real value of your home.

🌍 What if the property is outside Girona?
No problem:valoragirona.com can also value homes in any province of the State . However, in Girona the accuracy is maximum thanks to the exclusive data that no other tool has.

⚠️ Avoid generic state appraisers : they do not have the local detail that can make a difference in a negotiation or a legal process.


5. What happens if we don't agree?

If there is no agreement, you can file a lawsuit for division of the common property . This route can lead to a judicial auction , with several disadvantages:

  • The final price may be much lower than the market price.

  • Legal and judicial costs are high.

  • The process can be long and emotionally draining.


6. We have a joint mortgage. Can the property be separated as well?

Yes, but you need to negotiate with the bank:

  • If one party buys the other's property, the entire mortgage must be assumed .

  • The bank may impose new conditions (guarantors, new interest rates, etc.).


7. What is the fastest and cheapest solution?

The private agreement through condominium termination is the most agile and economical option.
With the support of Immogirona, you can:

  • With minimal taxes .

  • No courts.

  • With specialized legal support.

8. Why can't I use the cadastral or reference value to calculate my share?

Because they are usually well below the real market value . Accepting these values can make you lose out. It is key to know the real selling price in your neighborhood or town.
