With .co.uk I understand changing the details that appear in whois is the same as changing ownership for all purposes.
Is it possible for me to change my real details to fake ones and not have to do anything at nominet? Because legally if I'm changing my details to hide my identity in the whois, I'm not really changing the ownership. |
The whois details are the legally binding details of the registrant. Do not change these to fake details becasue the domain will no longer belong to you (or anyone for that matter). If you want to hide these for annonimity reasons simply opt out of the whois (this can be done from your domain control panel).

You change the tag to the buyers tag so that they can take control of the domain. After this you fill out a Nominet Transfer Form with the details of the curent registrant (you) and a covering letter stating that you want to transfer the domain to the buyer. Then you send the form and letter to the buyer, they fill out their part of the form and write their own covering letter and then send everything off to Nominet. Check the Nominet website:

Hope this helps!
