Conveyancing

Transfer of Equity

A Transfer of Equity is needed when people want to change the legal ownership of a property. There could be various reasons for wanting to do this, for example:

  • If you get married and want to transfer an existing home into joint names.
  • If you get divorced or separated and want to transfer a jointly owned property into the sole name of one of the partners.
  • As part of tax planning if advised by your tax planner to transfer a share of the family home to a child or other family member.

Whatever the reason, you should consult a solicitor for legal advice.

And, with YBS Conveyancing Services, it's quick and easy to find and instruct a solicitor online.
