A transfer of equity means when someone is added or removed from the title of a property. You may need to carry out a transfer of equity if your circumstances change, for example:
- If you get married or re-married and want to add your new spouse
- If you get divorced or separated and want to remove your ex-partner
- You may be able to reduce inheritance tax liabilities and take advantage of personal capital gains limits, for more information see our tax planning page
- If you remortgage and your new mortgage lender requires your property to be registered in the same name as the mortgage deed
