- A Transfer of Equity is when the interest in the property or land owned is sold, transferred or gifted to another owner or owners where one of the existing owners remains on the title.
As part of the process, owners can be either be added, removed or both.
Reasons for a Transfer of Equity / Transfer of Ownership
Some of the reasons you may choose to transfer a property are:
- If you are dealing with the estate of a deceased family member or friend and need to transfer the property to the beneficiaries named in the will.
- If you have a new partner or are just married and wish to transfer your existing home into joint names.
- If the interest in your property needs to be transferred following a divorce or breakdown of a relationship.
- If your Tax Adviser has advised you to transfer a share of the property to another member of the family.
- If you wish to gift your share or a share in your property to a family member.
Like when re-mortgaging, a conveyancing solicitor is a key part of the process. Individuals can do it themselves at the Land Registry if there is no mortgage on the property. However, there are potentially many legal implications and it is not always as easy a just signing a piece of paper.
