Real estate after divorce – your path to a new beginning in Willich

Divorce means change—emotionally and often financially.
Joint property is a particularly sensitive issue: it is not only an asset, but also a place full of memories.
At Hausmann Immobilien in Willich, we guide you sensitively through this process and help you make the right decision for your new beginning.

Why selling can be liberating

After a divorce, a property can quickly become a burden, especially if it has not yet been paid off or is difficult to maintain on your own.

A sale offers you:

  • Emotional closure – a clean break for a new start
  • Financial freedom – division of the proceeds from the sale and new planning security
  • New perspectives – a home that better suits your current life situation

Selling is not always the only option. Especially when children are involved, every decision should be made calmly and with foresight.

Options for shared property after divorce

  • Sale of the property
    Probably the most common solution: the property is sold and the proceeds are divided fairly. Ideal for couples who want a fresh start, both financially and emotionally.
  • Buy-out/payout of one partner
    One party takes over the property completely and pays out the other. A realistic property valuation in Willich is crucial in order to create fair conditions.
  • Renting
    The property is rented out until a long-term decision is made. This generates regular income that benefits both parties.
  • 4️⃣Joint use
    In rare cases—usually when children are involved—ex-partners decide to share the property temporarily. Clear agreements on use and costs are important here.

Property division with children – careful and solution-oriented

When children are involved, the property is more than just a house—it is security and stability.
We advise you on how to arrange the living situation after the divorce in such a way that your children remain as protected as possible.
Whether it's a sale, rental, or temporary solution, we help you find a viable and fair solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions from our customers

How long will it take to sell my house?

The length of time it takes to sell a house can depend on various factors, such as the condition of the house, its location, the current real estate market, and the chosen sales strategy. As a rule, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for a house to sell.

Sell with or without a real estate agent?

The decision of whether to sell your property with or without an agent depends on your personal preferences, your experience in the real estate market, and your availability for the sales process. An agent can offer you professional support, market knowledge, time savings, and access to professional networks. Ultimately, you should weigh the pros and cons and choose the option that best suits your needs and goals.

What happens if the partners cannot agree on the division of the property after the divorce?

If the partners cannot agree on the division of the property after the divorce, this can lead to legal disputes. In this case, various steps can be taken:

  1. Mediation: The partners can engage a mediator to help resolve their differences. A mediator is a neutral person who helps to reach an agreement that is acceptable to both parties.

  2. Legal proceedings: If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation or mediation, one of the partners can take legal action by going to court. The court will then examine the matter and make a decision on how the property is to be divided.

  3. Sale of the property: In some cases, the court may decide that the property should be sold and the proceeds divided if the partners cannot agree.

Legal proceedings can be costly and time-consuming and are often associated with emotional stress. It is therefore advisable to seek alternative ways of resolving the conflict and to seek professional advice in order to find the best options.
