What is a transfer of equity process?

A Transfer of Equity is where a co-owner transfers their share in a property to another co-owner. The interest can be transferred for a sum of money based on the market value of the property, or it may be as part of a court order relating to a divorce or separation. It will likely involve the following steps:

Instruct a solicitor

• They will create transfer documents, look over the title deeds and proceed with legal accuracy. 

Get mortgage lender consent

• Your solicitor will ensure the bank is aware and approves the transfer.

Collect signatures

• Each party signs the transfer deed with a witness.

Pay outstanding fees

• You may need to pay stamp duty and other fees.

Completion

• Your solicitor will manage the transfer of funds which ensures that the equity is officially transferred.

Whether the transfer is between family members, a former partner or other owners of the property, the process can be complex. A transfer of equity conveyancing Solicitor will offer expert legal advice and service throughout the transaction.

Reasons to transfer equity

You may need to change the legal ownership of a property, whether to add or remove a name from the title, or to change the ownership entirely. Whatever the context, it’s important to have a residential property solicitor there to offer the right legal advice and support. This will protect everyone involved in the property transfer especially where you have a mortgage on the property.

Whether you are getting married, divorced or separating, want to gift a property to a loved one, are in the process of creating a trust, need help changing the ownership of a property or wish to remove names from ownership of the property, Eric Robinson Solicitors have an expert panel of conveyancing Solicitors who can make this happen as quickly and simply as possible.

How long does a transfer of equity take? 

The amount of time that the process takes will be dependent upon the speed of each of the relevant parties. 

For example, if one family member or person requires a new mortgage offer, then the equity transfer cannot be completed until that lender has issued all of their paperwork. 

Equally, matters can occasionally be slower where people are separating or transferring equity against the backdrop of court proceedings, or where there is a dispute over property value or whether a sale should occur. 

The speed at which a transfer progresses is not usually affected by whether the home is freehold or leasehold.
