in House buying, renting & selling
to take the name of the house deeds , is it necessary to do it through a lawyer, or can you do it yourself by obtaining the form from land registery?


P.S House has no mortgage and is fully paid.

    It's probably better to get a solicitor to do it. Is it part of a divorce?

    Why?
    Depends on circumstances, but may involve littl more than completion of relevant form, that LR will advise on, and verification of ID.

    More info needed.

    Is your brother the joint owner? Is he in effect gifting you his share of the house? Might there be IHT considerations?

    I think that you should consult a solicitor as to any IHT considerations that might arise and also as to any CGT questions if this property was not your brother's principal private residence.
    The solicitor would also handle the conveyancing.
