OK, this may be a bit long-winded, will try and keep it as short as possible, but I'm pretty new to all this, so some pretty general questions!
Scenario is that, following my divorce, it has been agreed, and recorded in the Court Order, that I will transfer all my interest in the marital home to my ex-wife.
I will have a legal charge on 45% (don't ask... she drives a hard bargain!) of the value of the property, enforceable on its sale, or my ex-wife cohabiting, or at a specific date down the line. The details are all laid out in a specific charge document produced and recorded along with the court order.
I've been looking into quotes form conveyancers to get the transfer and charge all recorded with HMLR, and a) I'm getting a lot of not-very-confidence-inspiring confusion back from them and b) the sort of amounts being quoted seem pretty high.
The way I see it, there are no elements of contention or query in the details of the transfer, as this has all long since been nailed down (at plenty of expense!) by the divorce lawyers, and detailed in the Court Order & Charge Document. So it's just a question of ensuring the correct forms are correctly completed and registered, and the correct fees paid.... which appears to be something you can, in theory at least, just do yourself.
From what I can see, it's an AP1 form to change the registry, a TR1 to transfer the titles, an ID1 to confirm identity, and a CH1 to record the legal charge.
My question at this point is simply how practical this is to do yourself, and what pitfalls there may be? (I'm sure further more specific questions will follow though!)
