If you own property in the UK but live abroad, you may eventually need to transfer ownership - whether gifting it to family, updating deeds after divorce, or restructuring investments.
In the past, this meant costly flights, face-to-face meetings with solicitors, and endless paperwork.
Today, there’s a better option: a modern digital property transfer service designed for international clients.
