• Part Transfer Of Deeds As Splitting House Into Two

    By Guest on 07th Feb 2017

    We have recently purchased a 3 bedroom house and will be splitting 1 into a 2 bed and the other into a 1 bed. The garden will reflect this change . I believe its the solicitor who has to do a Transfer in part but please confirm the process and who pays th land registry fees when we sell the property ? Many thanks

    Will it be two houses that you create or two flats? I.e. will the existing property be split vertically or horizontally? If it's two houses your solicitor will need to draw up two transfers - one a transfer of part (TP1) and the other a transfer of whole (TR1). Other than that the sale process is quite standard. You will potentially have to obtain a new home warranty certificate. If you are creating two flats your lawyer will have to draw up two leases. Either way the purchasers will be responsible for the Land Registry fees

    Many thanks for that quick response. It will be 2 houses . I should add we will be keeping some land ourselves at the back of the garden after the sale .

    Reference creating the new boundaries do we need to consult with anyone ? ( These wont be impacting on the neighbour ) . Are we free to put the dividing fence up where we wish ?
    Do we have to create a new driveway for the 'new' house ? Many thanks for any further assistance

    If you are keeping some land then it will be two TP1 forms. Yes you can put the fence where you wish (as long as it's less than 6 feet high, otherwise it may need planning consent). As for the driveway, check with the council as part of your planning application but if they don't insist then no.
