Transfer of Equity (TofE)is the legal process of changing the ownership of a property by adding or removing names from the title. Unlike a sale and purchase transaction, at least one of the existing owners continues to remain on the title. While the actual legal work is carried out by a solicitor, mortgage advisers like us often get involved—because the names on the mortgage must reflect the updated ownership. This article explores the key aspects of a Transfer of Equity and when it might be relevant.
