DING DONG - alarm bells ringing!

Wife has just left voicemail after a missed call. Her message is about selling the house. She wants to know what we're going to do about it. She wants to call the estate agents today. She went to the bank this morning, not just to withdraw cash as normal but to speak to an adviser. Based off experience my guess is that she's short on cash due to her past record of poorly handled finances. She wants to sell the house to replenish her depleted bank balance no doubt.

Now, I can't afford to stay there alone. So I guess we're going to have to sell it. I see this as a step in the wrong direction in terms of things working out but I am willing to go with it. We've already said we'll split the profit 50/50 so that's not really an issue.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I should proceed?

The house needs a little work (mainly just decorating) to get the most out of it sales wise. W wants to get it up for sale ASAP. I'd rather we got the most we can from it and tidied it up a little first.

EDIT: I doubt she'd want to 'waste' her money but having £1,000s means she could potentially afford to start D proceedings too. My initial thought is to say 'slow down, lets clear the house out, tidy it up a little, move on to the estate agents phase in a week or two.'
