Hello,

I am remortgaging my property and I need to add my name to the title / deed as we have the new mortgage in our joint names. How can I do this? Thanks 

Hello Claudia - if you need to transfer the ownership to joint names and then remortgage then our online guidance explains how to do that 

when i bought home with Mum & Dad we had to sign the deeds now im living on my own since they passed away how ever how to add my fiancees name to the deeds as i intend  putting home on market  to move to filey but estate want to see deed, do i leave thomas gilbert dumpleton and margaret jean dumpleton on deeds or hav them removed

Paul - that all very much depends on your buyer. The deaths, very sadly, are factual so can be proven as and when required by providing certified copies of the death certificates. So if the three of you are shown as registered owners a buyer can usually rely on the current register plus both death certificates 

When adding a name to a title, are we able to submit form ID3 instead of ID1 as we are trying to make the application ourselves, not via a conveyancer.

Jacqueline - form ID3 verification is offered as an alternative to form ID1. See PG 67

I want to add a rental property owned in my  name only to  jointly owned 50/50 basis.
There is and never has been a mortgage on the property and the property is freehold.
This is a gift between spouses and no money is changing hands
I know forms AP1 and ID1 or ID3 are required but unsure whether to complete TR1 or TP1 
Thankyou
 

Richard - form TR1 as you can only ever transfer the whole of the legal ownership in such cases.
Form TP1 is used when transferring say part of the garden, not a 'share' of the type you refer to.

I would like to add my name to our property deeds that myself and my husband purchased the deeds at the moment are just in my husbands name 

Pauline - see our online guidance on how to transfer the registered ownership. Registering land or property with HM Land Registry: Change the registered owner name - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Hi,
I have 2 residential property under my name.

1. I want to transer whole of one of my property into my wife`s name. Is this doble? The property has got a mortgage under my name.
2. Can I keep the mortgage under my name and just change the property deed ito her name?
3. If I can tranfer whole of one of my properties to my wife`s name(Item 1), then will I be titled as a person who just own 1 residential property?
4. when I bought my another property I paid higher SDLT. If I transfer my property in item 1 to my wife's name, can I apply for refund of SDLT for my another property? The property bought recently and has a higher value than the oter one(which  want to transfer it to my wife`s name).

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Hi Mo - it is doable if the lender consents
Highly unlikely but a Q for your lender to answer
If you transfer the whole of a registered title to your wife then you won;t be mentioned on the register
You'll need to contact HMRC for stamp duty guidance

Hi, we own a ground floor maisonette and share the freehold 50:50 with the upstairs neighbour (upper maisonette). Now the neighbour wishes to add her partner to the title deeds. We have no objection to that, but need reassurance there are no negative legal implications for us. 
The client’s solicitor proposes to assign a 25% share for each of the 4 of us (section 10 of form TR1 under the third option ‘they are to hold the property on trust’). Could you please advise if this is the correct approach? Also if the title change will need to be communicated to our own lender?

Many thanks!

Hi James - not something we can advise you as to whether that's the 'correct approach'. It's legal advice you need here
Such a Transfer and 'share' is possible and any changes that affect your mortgage should generally be communicated with your lender and/or their consent obtained if needed

Hi
I would like to add my wife's name on to a property which is in my name and  mortgage has been cleared recently.
It was purchased in 2008 for £177000 and now worth £30000
Does she have to pay SDLT for it.
Please let me know 
Many thanks 
Bala 
 

Sorry it is 300k

 

Hi Balakrishna - you'd need to contact HMRC with regards SDLT queries/payments

Thanks
