Common confusion points
Confusing 'Disposition' with just 'Sale'; disposition covers sale, transfer, or gift.
Assuming filing it means you win; it only starts the process to get an order granted.
Not realizing who must be served: The person against whom you are applying (the respondent) must receive a copy.
Mistaking this for a Revenue Online Service (ROS) form; while related to property, this is a Courts Service filing.
Thinking it applies only if the home is rented; it covers ownership too.
