Owning a property with someone else is a common arrangement, but circumstances change. At Shentons, we can help you navigate the process of transferring the ownership, or equity, of your property.
Meet the Property legal team
A Transfer of Equity is a change in the co-ownership status of a property where at least one original owner remains. This is a common occurrence during a divorce, where a co-owner is removed from the deeds or upon a marriage where a spouse is added.
A Transfer of Ownership is a complete transfer of the property. This is often used when a parent wants to gift a property to their adult child.
Our Specialist Property Lawyers can help you find the route that is right for you. We will help you understand the Stamp Duty Land Tax implications of your transaction and we will work directly with your mortgage lender to ensure the process goes smoothly.
We are members of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, this means that each of our Lawyers undergo additional annual training and provides extra reassurance that our knowledge is up to date, for more information, click here: Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme

2 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google

10 months agoMy whole experience of Rachel and Chloe representing me, guiding myself through a very stressful court process was second to none. They are highly professional, highly experienced in their field and gave solid, clear advice. I can't recommend them and Shenton's enough. Thank you. - PPosted on Google
