Finalising a divorce does not always mean the end of financial and logistical arrangements—especially when it comes to property. Whether a home is being transferred to one party or jointly owned assets are being divided, post-divorce property transfer involves legal, financial, and real estate processes that must be managed carefully. At Fraser Bond, we provide expert support for individuals and legal teams navigating the post-divorce property transfer process, ensuring clarity, compliance, and peace of mind.
While a divorce settlement may outline how property is to be divided, executing that division is another matter entirely. Property transfers typically involve:
Legal title changes
Mortgage restructuring or refinancing
Stamp duty and tax implications
Accurate valuations for fair equity transfer
Without the right guidance, delays or financial missteps can complicate the process and undermine the settlement’s intent.
This is common when one party wants to remain in the family home. It requires:
A formal valuation to determine fair market value
Calculating equity after outstanding mortgage balance
Potential refinancing or re-mortgaging
If a couple owns a rental or investment portfolio, they may:
Divide the properties
Retain some under joint ownership
Sell and split proceeds
Each option requires strategic property and tax advice.
When a consent order specifies property transfer, formal steps must follow to:
Update the Land Registry
Settle outstanding mortgages
Ensure legal compliance
