Transferring an Equity

A person may wish to change the legal ownership of a property for a number of reasons:

  1. Marriage/Civil Partnership. Once married the parties often wish to transfer the matrimonial home into joint names by way of a transfer of equity either subject to the existing mortgage or on a new rate by way of re-mortgage.
  2. Divorce or separation. Following divorce or separation the persons involved may wish to transfer a jointly owned property back into the sole name of one of the partners as part of the divorce proceedings or as part of a court order
  3. Tax planning. Property owners are sometimes advised by their accountants to transfer a percentage of any properties to other members of the family to try and minimise inheritance tax liabilities.

If the property has a mortgage then it is advisable to first of all seek the consent of the mortgage company to the transfer and then take appropriate legal advice.
