I am currently in the process of giving my ex husband a lump sum of money for him to transfer the house solely in my name. I am wondering once it is signed and finalised am I entitled to sell it or rent it, as I want to get away from the village and move on with my life.
Once you are the sole and outright owner of a property then you can do with it as you wish, unless there is a clause in your Consent Order stating you may not sell or rent for a certain period of time after the transfer, in which case you would need to sit out that time period before renting or selling.
