Question
Do both parties need solicitors if one is buying the other out and transferring deeds and equity?
Answer
In a Transfer of Equity transaction the owner who is buying the other person out must be represented by a solicitor/conveyancer.
The person being bought out can decide whether they want to be represented by a solicitor/conveyancer or not.
We would always recommend that the person being bought out should be represented so that they can receive independent legal advice about the transaction but it will be their decision as to whether they wish to be.

I found the online system very helpful and easy to manage. I got updates and they were easy to contact. There was one quiet spell but when I chased for an update I got one the same day. Overall I am very happy with the process. I waited until I had exchanged before reviewing so I can comment on the whole process.
