Individuals and families may want to transfer all or part of the legal ownership of a property for many different reasons.

These could include:

  • Following a marriage or civil partnership between two parties wishing to transfer the property into joint names
  • You are co-habiting and wish to add the name of your partner to the property title
  • Following a divorce or separation agreement, you wish to transfer the property into the sole name of one owner
