What Is Financial and Property Mediation?

Financial and property mediation helps separating couples reach agreement on all financial matters, including:

·       Property and housing arrangements

·       Assets and savings

·       Debts and liabilities

·       Pensions

·       Child and spousal maintenance

Rather than dealing with property in isolation, mediation looks at the entire financial picture so outcomes are fair, sustainable and workable for both parties.

With the guidance of an impartial family mediator, discussions take place in a structured, supportive environment that encourages open communication and reduces conflict.

 Property and Housing as Part of Financial Mediation

Decisions about the family home and other properties are an integral part of financial mediation. This may include:

·       Whether a property should be sold, retained or transferred

·       How equity is divided

·       Arrangements for rental or investment properties

·       Short-term and long-term housing options following separation

Considering property alongside income, assets and future needs helps ensure financial agreements are realistic and minimise disruption, particularly where children are involved.

 Why Choose Financial and Property Mediation Instead of Court?

Many families choose mediation because it is:

·       Faster than court proceedings

·       More cost-effective

·       Confidential

·       Less adversarial

·       Focused on solutions you both agree to

Mediation allows you to stay in control of decisions rather than having outcomes imposed by a judge.

Our mediation process is designed to be clear and supportive at every stage:

·       MIAM appointment (individual assessment)

·       Full financial disclosure
