Transfer of Equity Solicitors

Transfer of equity is when an owner adds one other owners to the title of a property or removes one or more existing owners, other than themselves, from the title. Transfer of equity is not the same as buying a selling a property, as often no money is exchanged by the parties involved, and at least one of the original owners remains on the title.

You may require a transfer of equity for several reasons, the most common include:

• A relationship breakdown.
• Marriage, civil partnership or moving in with a partner – you may want to add your new spouse or partner as a joint owner of your property.
• You need to buy out a joint owner – such as a family member or friend who bought the property with you.
• Tax planning – you wish to transfer the equity of your property to your children or other family members to be more tax efficient. You will need to seek appropriate tax advice regarding your tax liabilities.
