Start nowMuch more than filling in a form
The research, the fee tables and the form-by-form guesswork are the hard part. We remove them.
We find the title
Enter a postcode, pick the property. We look up and check the Land Registry title for you.
We calculate the Land Registry fee
No fee tables to interpret. Your guidance tells you the exact amount to send.
We adapt the documents to your transfer
Gift, sale, a share, adding or removing someone, different ownership shares — your answers decide the forms and the wording.
We tell you exactly what happens next
Who signs, who witnesses, identity checks, what to enclose and where to send it.
Is this the right service for you?
Yes, if you want to
- Add a spouse or civil partner to the deeds
- Add a partner you live with to the title
- Add an adult child or other family member as a joint owner
- Put a solely owned property into joint names, in any shares you agree
- Do it yourself, where no mortgage lender needs to approve anything
No, if there is
- Any property with a mortgage on it — the lender must consent, and we cannot deal with lenders
- Buying someone out with money raised on a new mortgage
- Splitting off a physical piece of land, such as part of a garden or a plot (form TP1) — transferring a share of the whole property is fine, and we handle that
- Open-market sales or purchases
- Transfers ordered by a court on divorce (coming September 2026)
- Transfers from the estate of someone who has died (coming September 2026)
- Property in Scotland or Northern Ireland — England and Wales only
If a mortgage is involved you will need a conveyancer. We would rather say so now than take your money.

Questions people ask
How do I add my wife or husband to the deeds?
It is done by a transfer deed (form TR1) signed by the current owner or owners, sent to HM Land Registry with an application form (AP1) and identity evidence. Our questions collect what those forms need and complete them for you, with notes telling you who signs what and where to send it.
Do I need a solicitor to add someone to the deeds?
Not as a matter of law — HM Land Registry accepts applications from members of the public. A solicitor becomes necessary in practice if there is a mortgage on the property, because the lender must consent and will want its own representation.
What if the property has a mortgage?
Then this service is not for you. Adding an owner to a mortgaged property needs the lender's consent, and lenders normally insist on a conveyancer acting. We would rather tell you now than take your £69.
How much does it cost to add someone to a house deed?
£69 for the completed pack. HM Land Registry then charges its own registration fee, from £45 and typically £45–£195 depending on the value of the property and how you submit it. That is paid directly to them, not to us.
Should we be joint tenants or tenants in common?
Joint tenants means that if one of you dies the other automatically owns the whole property, whatever the will says. Tenants in common means each of you owns a distinct share — 50/50 or any other split — which passes under your will. The form explains both, asks you to choose, and generates the declaration of trust in the deed from your answer.
Is Stamp Duty payable?
On a genuine gift, where no money changes hands, there is no chargeable consideration and no Stamp Duty is payable — however valuable the property. Where money does change hands, a return may be due. Our system works out from your answers whether an SDLT return (or a Land Transaction Tax return, for property in Wales) is required, and your guidance notes set out exactly what to do, including a link to HMRC's official calculator for working out any tax payable. We prepare the paperwork; we do not give tax advice.
How long does it take?
Your forms are generated as soon as you have paid — usually within a couple of minutes. How long HM Land Registry then takes to register the change is up to them.
What if I get stuck?
Call us on 0330 043 0355 before you buy if you want to check the service fits your situation. The pack includes step-by-step guidance for signing, witnessing and submitting.
