Taking money out of your pension is bad on all sorts of levels. One that could bite you beside the obvious is that it that those are marital assets. Recovering from a pension withdrawal is painful. You might be able to use it as collateral though. Check with your financial institution. I found mine to be incredibly helpful.

Could you do the move in two steps? First to some sort of temporary accommodation - perhaps even imposing on the kindness of a friend for a month or two - while you get your stuff all in order?

From what I understand when my STBX moved out she first stayed in a 4 bedroom house that was vacant for a couple of months. The long-term tenants weren't moving in until the fall. She then moved into her apartment after that. I'm not sure why she did that in her case but I know that the landlord of her apartment renovated it for her.

Perhaps contact a realtor and see what they might know of. They often have the inside information on such things. Maybe even a vacant house that is up for sale that needs to look "lived in".
