Hi there - to any lawyers, you may have seen my other thread about the slight issue a friend of mine is in with regards to access to his house having been falsely accussed of domestic violence and now barred crom access to his home

What is to stop him instructing an Estate agent to sell his house bearing the following in mind:

-The house and mortage is entirely in his name
-He is currently not allowed to visit the house due to being subject of a Non Molestation order
-His ex partner is currently living there alone
-Her name is on nothing... no bills/utilities/even not on the electoral role there
-He is still paying mortage/bills/council tax/utilities despite not being there for 2 months
-She has applied for an Occupancy Order which is due to be considered in 3 months, HAS NOT been granted yet
-they have no children, they are not married or have any form of formal partnership

He wants to sell the house when she is finally out - i have suggested doing it now rather than wait for 3 months or possibly longer.

Can he do this?

Many thanks

Understandable Breadvan. Its just a bit desperate at the moment especially as she is abusing this process just so she can have somrwhere to live and is a woman scorned, and seems totally wrong.

And it is honestly about a friend and former employer in his 40's.. im only 25 and not a honeowner yet, so thankfully dont have to deal with this kind of headache... yet haha
