This is done through your local District Land Registry Office, and if you do not know where it is click this link then click on the area to find the office. You are presently Registered as sole proprietor and you will be changing this to either (a) a joint tenancy, or (b) a tenancy in common with your wife. (a) is always a 50/50 split, and (b) can be 50/50 or some other split if you wish. If you are unsure of the difference please say and I will post a summary of each. To change the Register is a simple DIY matter involving two straightforward Land Registry forms which can be downloaded. Rather than me type it all up, please get it from the horse's mouth by phoning your local District Land Registry Office whom you will find to be very helpful and will guide you through the process. Check their fees whilst you are there which from memory will be something like 2 x �30. The Land Registry can do nothing without a Stamp Duty Land Tax Certificate which you must forward to the Land Registry attached to their completed forms, and to check your liability for Stamp Duty and arrange for a Certificate telephone 0845 6030135.
