will need a solicitor but they need not be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and
to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to
consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about

within 7 years of this. As the property is your main residence you need
not pay CGT but you should speak with your accountants in any event.
