Title Deeds Addition

[calda49]

I own my house outright, and have the title deeds. I wish to put my partner's name on the deeds. Can anyone tell me how I go about it please?

Is your property registered with the Land Registry?

[Peter Pedant]

I did this - I went to a licensed conveyancer and they did it for £200

Also it is important to know what part of the UK you live in and if there is a mortgage or other charges against the property

You also need to decide whether the ownership will be as ‘tenants in common’ or ‘joint tenants’.

I would assume as ‘joint tenants’, whereby each co-owns the whole property.

Basically, you just need to fill in three forms (AP1, TP1 and ID1) and submit them to the Land Registry, along with the appropriate fee. However it's definitely best to use a solicitor (or licensed conveyancer) in order to do so.

Don't do it. A friend put her partner of 10 years on the deeds - he cheated on her, they split up & and he demanded oodles of cash to have his name removed from the deeds.

[Boto]

I agree with davebro. You can always leave it (or some of it) to him in your will.

Pop to see a property solicitor and if you want to talk to them about to protecting your interests, then do that too.
