I want to change the deeds of my house over to my son and his partner, or sell it to them for a nominal sum. Which is the cheapest option, and how much would it cost?

This is a very serious step, especially if you are still living in the house, and you should at least discuss your reasons with a solicitor before going ahead. It won’’t cost very much to alter the deeds at the Land Registry, but you have to consider what might happen to your home if your son and his partner were to split up, or worse still, your son were to die. The property would then be owned by his partner, and you may no longer have a roof over your head. Couldn’’t you just leave it to them in your will?
