Land Registryupdate title

In short: You can transfer all or part of a property without selling it, for example by gifting it to a family member or adding a partner to the title (a transfer of equity). If there's a mortgage, the lender must agree. Stamp duty may be due if the person receiving the property takes on mortgage debt or pays money. Gifting a property that isn't your main home can trigger capital gains tax, and gifts can fall into your estate for inheritance tax if you die within seven years. A solicitor will handle the Land Registry forms. This is general information; take legal and tax advice.

Transfer type	Key points
Gift of whole property	CGT may apply if not your main home; IHT seven-year rule
Transfer of equity	Adding or removing an owner; lender consent
Into a trust	Specialist advice needed
On divorce	Special tax rules may apply
