Hi
Name changed for this post as you can see, in case it's outing. For this reason, will also be brief.
Inherited property and looking into transfer of assent. I would prefer not to jointly share this property. Is it possible to register as tenants in common and sell my share? Has anyone ever done this in practice? Is that how shared ownership properties are advertised?
Thanks in advance

I wish it was as straight forward as your case! :) Unfortunately if I am not able to sell my share to an outside party, I will never have my interest realised. As sibling will remain there indefinitely and also a buyout has/will never come to fruition. Although I will be legally responsible for the property..

So I'm in the same position as you OP although my Dad left a will. My DB and I have been left his property (a residential dwelling) in equal shares and we are in the process of transferring the asset from dads name to ours. I'm expecting that we will hold it as TinC, and then when the time comes where we want to dispose of it, we will both agree to sell, or one of us will buy out the other. I'm not sure how else you would envisage it working?

@PerpetualTenant you would have no rights to the property. They may gift it to their kids perhaps before they die.

I’d need a bit more detail.
Is it currently registered in the name of a single person?
Is it being inherited and transferred to you and to someone else? Who are they to you (sibling? spouse?)?
if it’s being inherited by you and someone else are you getting equal shares?

What type of property is it?
