Transfer of Equity

What Is a Transfer of Equity?

A transfer of equity occurs when a property owner adds or removes a person from the ownership title. Common reasons for this include:

  • Separation or Divorce – Removing a former partner from joint ownership.
  • Marriage or Cohabitation – Adding a spouse or partner to the property title.
  • Inheritance or Family Transfers – Gifting property to a family member.
  • Tax or Estate Planning – Restructuring ownership for financial efficiency.
  • Joint Ownership Adjustments – Changing the share of ownership among co-owners.

The Transfer of Equity Process

Our conveyancing solicitors in Greater Manchester guide you through every step of the transfer of equity process:

  • Initial Consultation – We assess your situation, explain the legal process, and outline your options.
  • Title & Mortgage Checks – We review the property’s ownership status and mortgage obligations to identify any restrictions.
  • Drafting & Signing Documents – We prepare the transfer deed and ensure all legal paperwork is correctly completed.
  • Mortgage Lender Consent (If Required) – If there’s an existing mortgage, we liaise with lenders to gain approval.
  • Final Registration – We submit the updated ownership details to the HM Land Registry to complete the transfer.

Fast, prompt and efficient. Zainab has been fantastic with handling the legal side of purchasing a house. As a first time buyer, it can be difficult to navigate but she has made the process easy and takes her time to explain things.
