Transferring ownership means changing who holds the legal title to a property in England. A solicitor drafts and completes the transfer deed, arranges registration at HM Land Registry, checks the title, and coordinates with lenders and the other side’s conveyancer. They ensure any existing charges are discharged or registered in the new owner’s name and that the transfer is properly registered in the title records.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key moment is the transfer of title, after which the new owner bears the right to possess and deal with the property. A solicitor’s role includes ensuring the deed is legally sound, handling any charges against the property, and confirming timely entry on the Land Registry title to protect the buyer’s ownership and financial interests.
