Whether you wish to add or remove a person from the ownership of a property, or even change the person(s) entirely, we can help with all your transfer of equity needs.
Why might I wish to transfer equity?
Transfer of equity may be required for a number of different reasons, such as:
- The current owners have separated or divorced
- The current owner has passed away
- The current owner gets married and wishes to change the property from a single to joint ownership
- Adding a new partner or co-habitant to a property
- Transferring equity as a gift
The transfer of equity process
The first step in the process is to gather all required documentation including information about the transfer of equity request and a copy of the Title Register for the property (this can be obtained from the Land Registry).
Your conveyancer will then:
- Confirm the information provided is correct with the Land Registry
- Review the title and property deeds
- Prepare the deed of transfer documents to be signed by all parties
- Check whether any Stamp Duty Land Tax is payable for your property
The next step is to obtain formal consent from all parties involved including mortgage lenders and any current co-owners of the property.
As soon as all funds have been paid and paperwork has been signed, the transfer of equity is complete.
