Get in touch with the details of what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll explain the process, agree fixed pricing, and complete ID checks.
Whether you’re adding a partner to the deeds, removing a name after divorce, gifting a share to family, or buying out a co-owner, we handle the legal paperwork cleanly, efficiently, and with no surprises.
A transfer of equity is the legal process of changing the legal ownership of a property without actually selling it. It happens whenever someone is added to or removed from the title deeds. Common situations include marriage, separation, gifting a share to a child, buying out a sibling or partner, or restructuring ownership for tax planning.
We handle the whole legal side: drafting the transfer deed, obtaining lender consent where needed, registering the new ownership with the Land Registry, and dealing with any Stamp Duty or HMRC filings that come into play. Most transfers complete in a matter of weeks.
We draft a clear, legally watertight transfer deed (TR1 form) that reflects exactly what you’ve agreed.
If there’s a mortgage on the property, we obtain the necessary lender consent and coordinate any remortgage requirements.
We assess any Stamp Duty Land Tax that may apply and handle the filings directly with HMRC.
We register the change of ownership with HM Land Registry so the title properly reflects the new owners.
Four clear stages from initial instruction through to a fully registered transfer.
Get in touch with the details of what you’re trying to achieve. We’ll explain the process, agree fixed pricing, and complete ID checks.
We review the property title, check the current ownership structure, and contact your mortgage lender if there’s a loan on the property.
We draft the transfer deed and any supporting documents. Everyone involved signs, and we deal with any consent or witnessing required.
Funds transfer if needed, the deed is finalised, SDLT is filed if applicable, and the new ownership is registered with HM Land Registry.
Whether the circumstances are happy or difficult, we approach every transfer with the same sensitivity, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Transfers often come after life-changing events: divorce, bereavement, a relationship breakdown. We handle every case with discretion and care, not just paperwork.
Our transfer of equity fees are agreed upfront and fixed. No hidden costs, no admin charges added at the end, no nasty surprises.
