FREE Jackson Lees Webinar – Transfers of Equity – Right First Time

Home ownership, especially today, arises in many guises. More, now than ever, homes are passing to individuals away from the normal sale & purchase process; through inheritance, after divorce or separation, or by gift. Collectively such matters are known as Transfers of Equity.

The basic conveyancing principles are the same but there are other factors that need to be considered to ensure that the conveyancer gets it right first time especially when looking to protect your client and to secure your lender’s mortgage.
