Typical Timeline for a Transfer of Equity

While each case varies, a standard transfer of equity usually takes 4–8 weeks from start to finish:

•             Week 1–2: Initial instructions, ID checks, and document preparation

•             Week 3–5: Mortgage and lender coordination, Land Registry submissions

•             Week 6–8: Registration completion and confirmation

Complex cases, such as those involving additional lenders or multiple parties, may take longer, but our team will keep you informed throughout.
