There are a lot of websites offering to do this online and you pay up front. Are they safe

  • Do what, exactly? Which websites are you talking about? If you told us what you hope to achieve you might get a reasonable answer.

  • If you mean to put your house into tenant-in-common ownership, then it is reasonably easy to do it yourself by getting the appropriate form from the Land Registry and paying a fee (which I assume is much less than the 'website' charges). Also the Land Registry will be able to give you help and advice. I personally would do it that way.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Take a look at our online Public Guide 18 which explains the two types of ownership from a land registration perspective as well as guidance on what can be done re the registered title.

    We would always recommend getting independant legal and/or financial advice as well to ensure that you understand the implications of severing a joint tenancy, if that is what you intend.

    We cannot provide legal or financial advice but if you need help in completing the form(s) or lodging an application then you can Contact Us
