Yes, both of you are joint-owners of the property and either of you can become its absolute property if any of you transfer your half share to the other.

If you wish to make him the owner of the entire flat then you may make a gift deed of your 50% share in his favour, whereafter he will assume ownership of the entire flat and become the absolute owner thereof.
