What Is A Transfer Of Equity?
A transfer of equity allows you to apply for a change of ownership to your property, usually to add or remove someone from the legal title. For example, if you’re recently married and your partner already owned a house, you could apply to have your name added to the property legal title.
Common Reasons For Transferring Equity
- Marriage
- Cohabitation changes such as divorce or separation
- To reduce tax
- The property is a gift
- Re-mortgage purposes
- Inheritance planning
- Court order
Transfer of equity can be a tricky process to navigate and that’s why it’s useful to seek legal advice.
