Helping You Plan Your Future

If you’re contemplating a transfer of equity as the result of a marriage or divorce, it’s likely that you may need to amend other areas such as wills, wealth planning, and power of attorneys. That’s why Thursfields offers a comprehensive range of Private Client services to help you take care of everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

A transfer of equity occurs when an individual is added or removed to the title deeds of a property (or land), thereby changing its ownership. It is most commonly used following a marriage or divorce, but can also be carried out to gift the property to a third party — usually as part of an estate planning strategy.

Remortgaging involves taking out a new mortgage on a property you already own. This can either be carried out to replace your existing one with a new deal (for example, when a fixed-term mortgage expires), or to borrow money against the value of your home and receive a cash injection should you need it.

To complete the transfer of equity process, your lawyer will draft the transfer form and ensure they are tailored to your situation and cover the details of your transaction.  If you have a mortgage on your property your lender will need to be a party to the transfer or they may issue a new mortgage offer to you. Your lawyer will liaise with the your mortgage lender, and any relevant third parties, before completing registration of the transfer with the Land Registry.

Step one of the remortgage process is to shop around and find the right deal. You can then contact the lender and make your application. You’ll then need to complete a number of forms before checks are made to ensure you can keep up with your repayments. Using a specialist remortgage solicitor can help you manage all your requirements.

If you’re remortgaging with the same provider, it will normally not be required to instruct a solicitor. However, it is always a good idea to check with your lender beforehand. If you are changing your lender or taking out a new mortgage, a solicitor will be required to facilitate the process.
