adding wife to property deeds

kokolino23

Hello,
Can someone point me to the right direction so I can add my wife to the property deeds (share ownership), please?
We're mortgage free so we don't need any consent from lenders.
Do I need to buy the title register from here?

After that, do we need TR1 or TP1?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/registered-titles-part-transfer-tp1
Finally, which fee do we have to pay?

Many thanks

You should always check the register before applying to update it just to be sure of what it says and anything you need to consider such as restrictions on your ability to transfer and also spelling of names etc
TR1 - you would be transferring the whole of the legal title to yourself and your wife
If it is a 'gift' then it would be Scale 2 on half the current market value - complete form AP1 to refer to the "Full market value £X"

Hello,

I've bought the title register and the property was last sold for £206,500, do we need to mention this value or the current value on the AP1 form? How can we evaluate the current market value? I estimate the current market value is around £350k, would the fee be £30 or £45?

You need to state the 'Full market value £X' in panel 4 of the form AP1. Whilst you don't have to get a professional valuation if you are reasonably sure it's around £350K then put that and pay the correct Scale 2 fee.
If you are submitting it yourself then it's a postal application and the fee is £100

@Land_Registry, thanks a lot for your advice.
There is the option to apply online, do I have to apply by post if I'll do it myself?

The online option is for our business customers only, so those who use our services on a regular, not one-off, basis

@Land_Registry , why it's so complicated?!

I thought we need TR1 and the fee, looks like we need AP1 and ID3 as well?

Can you confirm what's required, please?

Property with no mortgage, I'm the registered owner on the title register and I'd like to add my wife on it as well (50/50 each).

What documents do I need to post, please?

TR1, AP1, ID3 and £70 Scale 2 fee?

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hm-land-registry-registration-services-fees#scale-2-fees

Examples: properties with no mortgage

John Smith transfers a property by gift to himself and Sharon Jones in equal shares. It is worth £370,000. The fee is assessed on half the value of the property (£185,000), and payable under Scale 2 - so this would be £70.

Many thanks

I found some videos and looks like we need TR1, AP1, ID3 and £70 Scale 2 fee.

At present the ID3 - Certificate of Identity for a Private Individual requires verification from one of a very limited range of appropriately qualified individuals: Medical Doctor, Dentist, Chartered or Certified Accountant, Regulated Financial Adviser, Member of Parliament or Member of the Senedd. Difficult task ahead but we know an Accountant, hopefully he's Chartered or Certified or maybe our GP is willing to help.

Looks like you've established what's needed

Trying to do the same thing. Filled in all the forms suggested. Do I have to attach a copy of the title deeds (official copy)?
