Thank you for all your help and advice Toots (everyone else too). It really is invaluable.
EDIT: Just to add, I did speak to W earlier and agree for her to contact an estate agent for next week to see if they could come out value the house. That in itself isn't much because I want a few free valuations before we proceed any further. Of course if I get legal advice against the sale of the house I will bring that up at some point before the next step in the house selling process should come back, if not before.
Regarding assets, we only have the house. I have a car which I had bought for me after we split. W keeps mentioning it as if I somehow used 'our' money to buy it. I've told her my father bought it for me. Other than that all I can think of is possessions, and we have pretty much sorted that out already.
I did have a look at collaborative law and I definitely think that is the way to go should we have to go down that route.
