What This Generally Concerns

A tenancy agreement records the terms agreed between landlord and tenant. Transfers or changes of ownership generally need proof of ownership, supporting documents and, where it applies, registration with the relevant authority.

Requirements differ between land, houses and vehicles, and each registry or licensing authority sets its own. Redeem can help with the documents but does not decide whether a transfer is registered.

Questions Clients Often Ask

• What documents are needed to transfer a house, land or vehicle?
• What should a tenancy agreement include?
• How is a receipt for a sale or transfer documented?
• Whose name should appear on the papers, and how is it changed?
• What are the fees and the next steps?

Things to Confirm

• What is being transferred or agreed, and between whom
• Proof of ownership and identification the other side will expect
• The registry or authority that must receive the documents
• Whether you should also seek advice from a qualified lawyer, particularly for land

Registration and acceptance of ownership changes rest with the relevant authority. For advice on legal rights over property, consult a qualified lawyer.
