If you’ve done a lot of work on your property and made improvements that would significantly improve the resale value, it can be worth purchasing the remaining shares and then selling the property outright, to make sure you’re getting the most out of your sale.
If your home is in the same condition as when you purchased your shares and you haven’t invested much money into it, other than general upkeep, then it makes sense just to sell on your current shares as they are.
Your estate agent can advise you on this and can try to sell in various different ways for you.
