💬 Conveyancing FAQ

What is a Transfer of Equity?

A Transfer of Equity is the legal process of adding, removing, or changing ownership of a property without selling it. It is commonly used following a divorce or separation, when adding a partner to the title deeds, gifting a share of a property, or buying out a joint owner's interest.

Whether you're changing property ownership for personal or financial reasons, our experienced conveyancing team can guide you through the process and ensure everything is handled correctly and efficiently.

📝 New Blog: Can I Do a Transfer of Equity Without a Solicitor?

A transfer of equity may seem straightforward, but there can be important legal, financial, and mortgage considerations that need to be carefully managed. Whether you're adding or removing a property owner following a separation, gifting a share of a property, or restructuring ownership, it's important to understand what's involved.

In our latest blog, we explore whether a solicitor is required for a transfer of equity and the risks of trying to handle the process yourself.

We’re delighted to share this fantastic feedback for Zanna Bain-Calladine:

"Zanna was nothing but professional, helpful and proactive with her work. Every time there was an opportunity for her to get ahead, she did it so as not to slow our transaction down. Conveyancing solicitors have a bad reputation but we couldn't disagree more from our experience. Would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again."

A huge thank you to our client for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. Well done, Zanna, on delivering such exceptional service and helping to make the conveyancing process as smooth as possible. 💛
