A gift, a divorce or a marriage – there are numerous reasons why you may want to transfer property equity. Cartwright King’s conveyancing solicitors can assist you with expert legal advice for all questions and tasks around transferring property equity.
Transfer of Property Equity Explained
Transfer of equity is the process of changing the legal ownership of a property. In this instance, “equity” is a legal term meaning the rights of financial ownership rather than the plain English meaning which is used to describe the net property value.
There are different reasons why you may want to transfer equity:
- To add or remove your spouse or partner
- Long-term tax planning purposes
- A court has ordered the equity of the property to be transferred.
- A new trust has been formed.
- To add other family members
- You wish to gift a property to someone else.
