This area covers how co-owned homes are held when more than one person has an interest. In England, it deals with the differences between tenants in common and joint tenants, what happens to shares on death, and how to manage or sever the arrangement where ownership terms or financial arrangements need clarity or change. A solicitor helps with setting up the ownership, drafting deeds or declarations of trust, and handling any disputes or requirements arising from mortgage lenders or registers. This work matters because it determines who can live in the property, who bears costs, and what happens to ownership if someone dies or wants to sell.
The key protections relate to rights over the share(s) owned, deadlines for actions like severance or sale, and the potential for conflict if partners disagree. A solicitor can draft or amend the declaration of trust, advise on severance of a joint tenancy, and ensure Land Registry entries and mortgage conditions reflect the chosen form of ownership.

Tagged solicitor Jeremy Conway
Our solicitor at Winston Solicitors, Jeremy Conway, did a marvelous job helping us to sell a property in Leeds and to buy a flat in another town. The latter required a complicated "tentants in common" agreement, and we were kept continuously in touch with the proceedings throughout by our solicitor.

This was our first experience of Tozers. We found them very professional and timely. Issues were brought up by other solicitors in dribs and drabs and dealt with straightaway. We were kept informed at every stage. They worked as a team and someone would always contact us.

Tagged solicitor Kalim Akhtar
This is the second time I have used Kalim at Elite Law for conveyancing . The first time was excellent service, very pro-active and professional. Therefore, the choice was simple to use him again. The service was just as good this time. Again he was pro-active, pushing to get completion in a very professional way.

Tagged solicitor Kirsty Jones
After a very unpleasant and disturbing breakdown in my relationship it looked like I was going to lose my home, a home that I had paid the whole deposit for and had paid the mortgage on my own for over 6 months. My ex partner would not sign the house over to me, even though there was no equity in it and he paid nothing toward the deposit, my mortgage deal was coming to an end, I was never going to be able to afford the new payments. Kirsty stepped in and literally saved the day, she contacted my ex and due to her professionalism and persistence he finally signed the papers. I can never thank her and her team enough, I can now enjoy my home with my baby girl without having to worry about losing it, I will be eternally grateful and cannot recommend Kirsty enough. If I could give 10 stars I would, I am so happy!!

We have just completed a difficult sale and purchase, throughout the conveyance Rothera Bray have been there for us. Joanne Clarke and Nirvair Kaur Singh worked hard to keep things on track and together with Jackie Murphy we are now safely in our new home. We would definitely have no problem recommending Rothera Bray based on our experience. Thank you
