Transfer of Equity

Nathan Dady, Associate Solicitor in the Residential Property Department at Girlings Solicitors, outlines the process of making a transfer of equity. A transfer of equity is when someone is either added to, or removed from, the title deeds of a property.

Such a transaction can be quite complex, depending on whether there are any restrictions on the title, any leasehold or lender requirements that need to be satisfied, or duty implications.

It is also worth noting that a transfer of equity can mean relinquishing rights you have over a given property.

Girlings Solicitors will be able to guide you through these changes, consider any legal wording involved, and complete the registration of the transfer at the Land Registry.
