Remove a name from your house deeds
Removing someone from your house deeds takes them off the legal title — often after a separation. Legally this is a transfer of equity, and the person leaving must agree and sign.
We check every application before it’s submitted, so it isn’t rejected.
Who is this for?
- Separated or divorced couples
- Co-owners where one is buying the other out
- Family members stepping off a shared title

Things to consider
The person being removed must agree and sign — a name cannot be removed without consent or a court order.
If there is a mortgage, the lender must release the leaving borrower, usually via a solicitor.
Stamp Duty may apply if the remaining owner pays money or takes on more debt.
Common questions
Can I remove my ex without their agreement?
No. They must sign the transfer, or a court order is needed. A family solicitor can advise on contested cases.
Does removing them from the deeds remove them from the mortgage?
No. The mortgage is separate and the lender must agree to release them.
