My sister completed her conveyancing in Ewloe in 2005. She has got married, divorced and in recent months got married again. She wishes to sell the house in a couple of months. I suspect that she will just be asked to provide a copy of her marriage papers to the solicitor however she is anxious it will hold up the house sale. Should she appoint a property lawyer to update the Land Registry details for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property providing you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the name change has come about.
Any buyer’s conveyancing practitioner should check the registered entries and need evidence by way of proof of the name change for example marriage documentation.
