Add a name to your house deeds
Adding someone to your house deeds makes them a legal co-owner. Legally this is a transfer of equity — we prepare the paperwork, check it and submit it to HM Land Registry.
We check every application before it’s submitted, so it isn’t rejected.
Who is this for?
- Adding a new spouse or civil partner
- Adding a long-term partner you live with
- Adding an adult child or relative as a co-owner

Things to consider
Mortgaged properties need lender consent and usually a solicitor — we’ll refer you if so.
Decide whether to own as joint tenants or tenants in common.
Stamp Duty may apply if money is paid or mortgage debt is taken on.
Common questions
Can I add my partner to the deeds without a solicitor?
If the property is mortgage-free and the change is straightforward, usually yes. Mortgaged or complex cases need a solicitor and we will tell you.
Does adding a name affect inheritance?
Yes, it can. How you choose to own the property decides what happens on death, so consider independent advice.
