Common Questions About Transfer of Equity
What is a transfer of equity?
A transfer of equity involves changing the ownership structure of a property. This may be necessary after a divorce, remarriage, or moving in with a partner, requiring the removal or addition of names on the property title.
Why do I need a Solicitor for transferring equity?
A Conveyancing Solicitor is essential for transferring equity, especially if there is a mortgage on the property. The solicitor ensures that the departing party is released from mortgage obligations and advises on the best financial arrangement, such as paying off the loan, remortgaging, or transferring the mortgage.
Can I use a transfer of equity to gift my property to my children?
Yes, but you must be aware of potential inheritance and capital gains tax issues. Our full-service law firm can collaborate with our Private Client department to find the best solution for passing property to your children.
Will there be a stamp duty charge?
Stamp duty may apply if you are transferring equity into joint names, such as when getting married, due to the new owner assuming responsibility for a portion of the mortgage. We provide comprehensive advice on any stamp duty fees and ensure timely and accurate payment of any taxes owed.
