If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

I suspect that she will simply be requested to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the lawyer but she is concerned it could delay the sale of the house. Should she instruct a lawyer to update the title information for the property?

You are not required to update the register on the basis that you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.

Any purchaser’s conveyancer should examine the title entries and require evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
