Transferring the ownership of your property

Change affects all our lives. When big changes happen, it can lead to needing to transfer the ownership of your property.  We have helped many clients transfer the equity of their property for a whole range of reasons including:

  • Getting married or ending a relationship
  • Transfer of property between family members
  • When a trust is formed
  • Property is being gifted

A transfer of equity is the legal process by which you can change the legal ownership of a property by adding one or more people to the legal register alongside yourself or to remove one or more people other than yourself from the legal register.

Whatever the reason, you’ll want to have someone experienced to help and advise you.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
