How Can You Assist Me With Land Registry?

INTRODUCTION

Squiggle provides a wide range of services related to the Land Registry.

However, we should also emphasise that there are certain specialist aspects that lie beyond our domain of expertise, in particular as they relate to conveyancing.

This article provides a useful summary of those areas that lie within our expertise and where we’ll refer you to one of our conveyancing partners or another specialist.

WHERE SQUIGGLE CAN HELP

1. Including Property In Your Estate Plan: If you wish to include your property in your estate plan - for example in a lifetime trust, or you wish to become tenants in common.

2. Registering a Change in Personal Circumstances: For example, you have changed your name after you've got married.

3. Tenancy Factors: If you wish to sever the tenancy or are considering changing to a tenancy in common (Please refer to our related article on severing a tenancy for further information).

4. Transferring Property Ownership to Children: Squiggle can advise you if you wish to transfer your property into your children’s names.

However, you should also consider the implications of this, given the potential tax liabilities such as inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and potential loss of control over the property.

Please read our related article, and we advise you to read the related article below ('Why should I think twice about transferring my property into my children's name?')

SCENARIOS WHERE WE WORK WITH A SQUIGGLE PARTNER OR SPECIALIST

1. Conveyancing Requirements: Conveyancing is the process involving the legal transfer of property between individuals. If you’re looking for conveyancing or wish to register your property with the Land Registry, this requires the specialist support of a conveyancer or property solicitor. If you require conveyancing, we’re happy to recommend one of our reputable and trusted property solicitors.

2. Property Transactions: If you wish to transfer your property into somebody else's name, or you’re considering selling or buying a property, this also requires the services of a conveyance.

Note: In circumstances where you need additional expertise alongside your estate planning requirements, Squiggle is happy to refer you to one of our trusted partners, such as a property solicitor or specialist conveyancer. We've built up trusting relationships over the years and can guarantee competitive pricing.
