Put simply, a transfer of equity refers to the change of ownership of a property. Most commonly, this occurs when couples divorce and one party becomes the sole owner of a home or when a couple gets married and are both put onto the title deeds.
With every transfer of equity other factors must be considered such as new or existing
mortgage matters, leasehold issues, whether the property is a gift or part of a trust as well as Stamp Duty Land Tax implications.
