Can you sell a house with a Home Rights Notice?

Once a Home Rights Notice is registered with the Land Registry, it creates a restriction on the property’s title. This effectively blocks the sale of the house until the Notice is removed.

A prospective buyer conducting a search will be alerted that a non-owning spouse has a Notice on the property. This warning is likely to deter them from proceeding with the purchase.

A Notice can only be removed by the agreement of both parties, a Court Order, the death of either party, or the divorce becoming final when the Home Rights cease to exist.
